The message board needs to probably be run on a server that is configured specifically for it. Given how old both the FLA and the server requirements might be, I would urge you to find a different solution ☹ ---

Plenty of time for people to make one more obsolete Flash project. 😜 On a serious note I would however concur with your statement.
