I'm a member of several forums, but this and two others are the only ones I actively participate in.  One of the forums I'm active in is a hiking forum. (Sometimes, you gotta strap on a backpack, go out in the woods alone, and at least TRY to pee standing up.)  ANYWAY... we have get togethers on a yearly basis.  Would it not be a freaking HOOT if we all got together somewhere?  For our get togethers on this hiking forum, we always do a secluded place (duh) but we get great rates due to the quantity of people... Like we'll do a cabin somewhere in the Smokie Mountains that sleeps 30 people for $10 a day.  You gotta make your own meals and stuff, and someone has to host it.. help plan meals, everyone pitches in, that sort of thing. 

Anyway, just a thought.
