The disadvantage of forum is the need of membership for posting. It could also be subjected to spammers and hackers.

The old squadron page requires the site master to make modification submitted by the squadrons. The last version allow you to post your changes on the page itself and wait for the web master to update it.
Forum can be quickly configured to act in a way similar to what you've described. It's faster to do it this way than to write it from scratch. But sure, when I get back from my vacations I can create something.
And btw - spammers can be easily avoided with a small code modification and regular backups make hacker threat less of an issue.
