This has been discussed to some degree... I don't know where it might go.
It was tried at some other forums.. and seemed to bomb there. So it is being carefully considered here. The last I heard of the conversations was that it might be considered for areas where there are a lot of members who actively get together. There would be a "chapter" for that area, if those members wanted one.
I guess is will take a little more time and some more talk to see how this ends up.
