I think it is a great idea. I would cerianly be willing to pay a reaonable amount as long as there was a decent amount of space, it was open enough so I could host a webpage and any vids or pics I wanted, and most importantly, that I could post my pics on other sites and forums. That is something that bugs me the most. The majority of the previous web hosts I have used would not allow me to post my pics anywhere and would give me a red x instead of a pic on the forums I vist. As long as I was not restricted like this then I would buy it.

Alex,
just a friendly warning: managing webspace and email for a bunch of people can be very demanding, as you are entering the IS industry. At this point, you have a site that basically runs a content management system and looks pretty fly and is fast and easy to maintain.
Adding individual webspace requires granting user access and makes your site more vulnerable to attacks. It increases bandwidth demands. It produces thousands of emails from customers who want to know how to their one thing...
I say you should start with an email forwarding service. Just relay people's emails to their other addresses. Everyone gets their @i-club.com with almost zero overhead. You can even run spamassassin and tag their spam for them. It's so simple you can make it free.

I'm only interested in username <at> i-Club.com address. My online service already provides me with what little space I require. I'm sure that it would be a different story if I needed to host vids and the increased demands on bandwidth that would require. For the i-Club.com e-mail address, I'd prefer message forwarding to my existing e-mail address.
I would pay $8 per year for an e-mail forwarding service although I would probably be willing to make a donation for a larger amount to help defray costs to i-Club.

Thanks, but no thanks. I have several id's already, two ISP's and a wife who also uses her id for professional purposes. I have a list of p/w's as long as an arm (I'm 6'.0" with long arms) and actively considering ways to simplify my life. Keep the site, though, and the great new look.

i think you should work on a sort of lottery draw for the people trying to sell or advertise new products on this site they should give something out every month to the members like fmics or utecs, coilovers or t-shirts something or wholesale prices hahaha!

It'd be cool. But I'm only willing to pay ~$4.00/month for it. I get free e-mail addys anywhere I want practically, don't need to pay for one...just for site space...
