Here is my hack idea, if anyone makes it please let me know
I have many members on my forums who startup different functions. Currently this is done with a sticky forum thread, but I would like it to be more robust. So say for example a member wants to startup a function maybe a photographic print exchange. They could then go to the Member Organized Functions area, start a new function. They then get their own page to describe it and update it, they also would get to setup an email notification list, even a secure password protected page to keep track of mailing addresses and contact details of those needing to mail each other items, a stripped down comments area, etc. Thanks
