What I was trying to get across was this will be a everyone accessible website, so I wasn't sure if something like my idea was initiated, would it be made available to the world?(anyone who goes to the site) or would people be more comfortable by becoming a member and logging in to a password controlled area to see the more personal info. Just thinking outloud, on website construction not bulletin boards.
