If you want a "private forum," it might be possible to get a round-robin PM ring going where we can just CC each other when we send PMs. I could probably do some writing for you but not much surfing (time issues and I've gotten kinda disillusioned with those "traffic exchange" sites quite a while ago).
I'll setup a private forum in the next day or two if getting one here is not an option.
I had the same feeling about traffic exchanges until recently. Maybe this new trend will change your mind about them.
We would need a few autoresponder emails written to begin with and an initial newsletter about the team.
We'll have to find a way to reward non surfing contributors. I have a few ideas that we can hash out.
I'll send a pm invite when I get the forum setup.
