I think there is the promise of a good site . the problem that I see is the anonymous spam or call it what you will postings, I have several gone and deleted the stupid posts . But I come back and there they are again .
How about requiring registration to post .

You're right that these types of sites attract spam. Within 3 hours of going live we had been hit. The spam is deleted daily.

However, the site is built on a platform designed for communities and has a strong anti-spam protection. I had some problems when it was installed that will be worked out.

Despite the drawbacks, I would like to keep it as open as possible, especially in the beginning. I personally register on very few sites, and suspect that many others are the same. Keeping it open allows someone with something to contribute to do so as painlessly as possible.
