Unless your "community" is willing to consistently use a  
desktop or a laptop for comms, I doubt that usage would be a  
success.

Today, the primary tool to communicate are smartphones.  
Personally, I think Briar or Simplex would be a more practical  
solution for a community "board".  With a consistent naming  
approach, the message areas can be set up to look like part of  
a unified "bbs".

The one cool feature with Briar is that it can utilize BT  
netwworking, or Wi-fi, or the internet for broadcasting  
messages to member devices.
