What you need is a forum!

Try this freebie: http://www.phpbb.net
(and stay away from Frontpage )

YaBB is a good forum. It would be a good idea to set up XAMP which will give you MySQL, PHP and Apache plus many more cool things. Great for setting up forums and lots of other cool feature and making sure they work properly before uploading to your personal webspace.
