  I would like to change my blog to a message board style. I would like to post topics, and allow others to as well, and then allow the community to discuss the topic in messages below.

  Is this doable on WordPress.com?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not really.

  The P2 theme looks similar, but it doesn’t allow just anyone to start a thread. You want a real forum or wiki.

  WordPress.com is a blogging host. It’s not a wiki or forum provider.

  Online forum – An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.

  Wiki – A Web site developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.

  You can get a free forum or wiki on the internet and link to it from your WordPress.com blog.

  Here you can use the P2 theme which is Twitter like. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2/
