If this comes to pass, I wonder if when registering and paying, a person could choose to pay a nominal "extra" fee, solely at their discretion. This could support "scholarships" for those who wish to join but are unbable to pay due to financial or some other hardship.
Also, a work-issues board sounds pretty good. Although the self-esteem board is an interesting idea, too. And I know ClearSkies, among others, has been waiting patiently.
