1) User registration w/profiles (avatars optional but highly desired)

2) Multiple threads under multiple 'groups' or topics (a thread hierarchy)
Presenting this nicely is the challenge.
3) A global/topic search function for subject line & message text
Comes out of the box, just need to customize the output.
4) Email notification of a new message in a subscribed thread
