Would you like a bulletin board system on this site?
A bulletin board would be similar to the comments section, but it's more permanent and you get to choose the topic of conversation. Right now, when an entry is more than a week old it slides off the front page and into the archives. Often times people leave a comment to an old entry, but no one ever responds because the entry is out of sight. The bulletin board would help with that problem.
There are probably many other positive uses that I haven't even thought of. We could have sections for each of the units. We could have a section for care package questions. The possibilities for topics are pretty much endless.
The only downsides would be the increased cost of web server space and the need to monitor/administer the forum. Those obstacles can be taken care of if you guys want it. This is your site.
