A web site needs someone to pay for its creation, domain name, hosting and maintenance.
Seems to me that there are three ways to get this done: 1) An S "angel" who will foot the bill out of the goodness of his/her heart. 2) Sponsors, such as S manufacturers and/or dealers who want the exposure that would surely come with such a site. 3) Subscription, wherein we all pay XXX $ to be members. It would take quite a bit of hands-on oversight, considering that there might be dozens or hundreds of additions monthly, and someone would have to make the decision as to what would be archived or deleted., length of articles and size of photos, drawings, etc. If some files were archived, that means there would need to be more storage space somewhere, either on site or off. In other words, the site would require at least a part time editor. It could turn into a lot of work. Would this editor be paid for all his/her efforts? Remains to be seen. But it sure could be an excellent vehicle for exchange of ideas and photos and for one would love to see it.

Somewhere that each modeler could upload articles to, how to features, product reviews, all overseen by some sort of moderator? Have no idea, just and idea to throw out there.
