I think many are trying to solve this problem by creating other threads inwhich to post what their committee or specific person has to say.
Its not that your website isnt a good idea and everything, Its just that right now as Navane said, there are certain ppl working on committees and Im not sure if your website has restricted members access, but your website (with all good intentions) might have tons of people logging on who arent on committees thinking that they are members, when they actually arent. Right now the only "members" are those who have signed up for a committee or to be a Big/Lil, until we get the full fledge membership drive going when EVERYONE will have to sign an app.
