Good idea. I dont see a topic for this as yet so maybe Robert can put something in on the upgrade next year.
Also since you brought up this idea, it might be a good time to remind folks that if it were not for the few who donate to the cause this forum would not be possible. Robert "eats" a lot of the cost and there are enough of us here now, 2500+, that could help with off-setting the costs. (nothing is ever really free)
The donation might not have to be $25 for charter status but could be $5 just as a way of thank you.
I think a topic area is a great idea for free posting and especially for humor or unique stories that could get hijacked without losing the original post intent.
