While this could create healthy competition, it could also make the site
look like 5 or 6 different sites. Our problem so far hasn't been lack of
update, but rather a lack of a home for the site. I hate the idea of having
pop-up windows, and sites like Xoom are horribly slow. We're looking at some
options.

That's always good. :^)

Thanks for the offer. We'll keep you in mind.
