The AusMedSoft (http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/AusMedicalSoftware/)
list was set up in 2000 for this purpose. It is a yahoo mailing list,
"forum" archive and is searchable. It has a number of other facilities
of which only the file repository was used. It was started mainly, but
not exclusively, for Medical Director users when HCN was not playing nice.
I think most of the chatterati here would agree that forums suck.
I agree with that. Forums are for people with not enough to do who need
to fill their time with something.
I just had a look at the AusMedSoft group and loved the first message
that I found:

I had never thought of that. I love it - the most direct action.
After turning off the fax machine, I will write back to every person and
organisation who sends anything by post, explaining that my practice has
now moved beyond the intermediate technology of faxing and into the
digital data age. I will include my two page promo for Argus, asking
them to use Argus to send whatever they need to communicate.
