Well, I got pretty bored one day, and decided that whether or not it will be used, I'm going to build it up just for the experience. So far, it's going pretty well. Currently, I'm working on customizing the theme a bit. I've got a few nice plugins installed, with plans to implement more.
If you want to see how I'm doing, I've got it up at

You can sign up if you want, but at this point, there's no guarantees as far as feature availability goes.
If enough people are using this close to when the domain expires in January, I'll keep the project going.
