DW is kinda basic.
Maybe you should look into a forum type software package, there are several very good free ones out there, and you can still use FP on your main web if you install the forum on a subweb
You'll have to learn a little bit about databases but once you have them set up they are really easy to admin. You'll be able to have passwords for all users etc
