Questions About Running Comms

A friend of theloomofmoira's is investigating methods for creating a board/community, and Mia had some questions on her friend's behalf about running/modding comms on LJ:

 

• Can anyone start a group?
   
• Are they easy to admin?
   
• Can you make them private (where a person could petition for membership, which would be approved or denied depending on the vote of the group)? [I already answered this as far as privacy in general, but I dunno about voting.]
   
• A board can't quite be organized the same as [a conventional message board], right? I mean, basically the format is most recent posts are at the top, and there aren't any subcategories one can sort them into... is that right?

So please, those of you who have set up and run comms, give us your wisdom!
