As an alternative to someone having to maintain a website, and buy a URL,
why not use one of the 'free' group sites
Here's one that I set up a while back when a couple of us were discussing
this - in the context of a UK only buy/sell/trade discussion group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukafol
There is TONS of functionality in these groups that are ideal for something
like this
- discussion forums
- database
- polls
- upload area
- calender
- membership management,
etc, etc
Seems the very simple alternative to me
And apart from someone setting it up initially, no one needs own it or
maintain it
Apart from if you want to make it private and 'permit' members - which we
probably would (though anyone can ask to become a member, the owner just has
to approve their request)

lawrence
