Here's a thingy you may want to think about, Phin.
Lost, Found & Wanted chat room.
You know, there's General Discussion, Track Talk, Testing, and everything else. So how about Lost, Found, & Wanted? That could be a post area for people who have lost something and can't reach it, someone who found something of someone else's, and "classified ads" for asking for, for example, that one '86 Ford someone was looking for.
But don't do it if you don't wanna.
