Has anyone read the "Design for Community" book by Derek M. Powazek?

I've seen it in the bookstore and thought about buying it as I have set up the forums for my company's site and was looking at ways of encouraging people to use them.

The software you use to run your forum also effects how easy it is to moderate and maintain. Before I set up the forums for work it was suggested that we set up a news server instead, but I argued it would more difficult for our customers to configure a news reader than use an web message board.

Thanks.
