It adds a huge extra layer of complexity on the project-- definitely not something to be undertaken lightly. Just think how often we all use our LJs. Could a fannish nonprofit really support that kind of traffic and maintenance?

And I'm not sure how much protection it would give us. We'd have to buy our hosting from somewhere, and some "Warriors for Innocence" group could make threats against the hosting company. We'd need something on the order of a data haven to host it to be really sure it was safe.
