I agree. It's a very simple task to find a web host and set up a discussion forum. The question is, who is willing to pay for it? The cost, assuming a commercial web hosting service, would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $75-125/year. Who would be willing to pay for that out of their pocket? And what happens when they leave?

Another alternative would be to find someone already on BEN who administers their own web server, is on top of all the security of doing that, and would host BEN for free. I'm actually a system administrator and administer a web server at work (actually a few of them), so I'm very familiar with what's involved and how to do it, and I would be willing to do so. The problem is there's no way I could ever get my employer to agree to host BEN.
