Wow.. thats a crazy system. Honestly don't think anyone in Paradigm would be
willing to take on the task of maintaining such a monster. We don't have as
many members though, so if we were to expand I'd almost say it would become
a necessity to have such a system.
And yeah wow, those requirements are insane!
