This not only has value to you, it has value to your visitors and improves their perception of your site. People will tend to come back to a message board, as long as it is active, in order to find out what's happening, get answers to questions and keep in touch. This, of course, increases
traffic to your own site.
And if you sell a product or service, then a message board takes even a higher value as it gives your visitors a way to communicate their concerns, questions and experiences with your company and your products in a public forum. It's far cheaper than a telephone number, and it's free and easy for your customers.
The moral of
story? Include as many ways for your site visitors to communicate as you can. Put in a guestbook (carefully monitored), an email or form to give communication to
webmaster, and a message board. All of these things give a way for your visitors to communicate, and this gives them reasons to come back.
