Yes.  I'm guessing that the goal is to have persistent discussions or
idea brainstorming?  Another option that I am rather fond of is a 
Wiki... it's a collection of linked web pages which the users can edit
without having to know any HTML.  But it's nature is just a bit more 
permanent than news; it's usually organized topically rather than 
cronologically.

I've got one at 
http://gw.kb7pwd.ampr.org:9673/zwiki/SlateComputers/

and the original one is at
http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?

but there are now many implementations to choose from.
