Hey, just as a funny side note, I implemented this on this very domain back in the early 2000s. Gald to see someone else is using the domain this way :-)

This is of course the main problem with this type of idea. It is very likely that I will live longer than this site will, therefore it doesn't make sense to use it.

What did you do with the people who had signed up for you site?

I share your fears about its longevity.

What company would you trust to launch and maintain this kind of service?

I feel like WordPress.org or Wikipedia Foundation would be two companies with the right moral compass, funding and longevity who would be great backers of something like this.

The Internet Archive.
Boom. Perfect example.
