Real nice. 5 days in week leading into a major (U.S.) holiday weekend just before school starts. I think you guys need to calm down a bit. You need to ask yourselves:

Are you *really* prepared to "take over" AND pick up the tab on hosting fees, etc, out of your own pockets if necessary? Are you *really* prepared and willing to do whatever else is necessary to pull it off, possibly at the expense of spouse and family, no matter how much time, effort and money it takes? Are you prepared to do the equivalent of taking over a business that has no income?

It's not like putting in some overtime at work. There's not one iota of profit here to justify a possible major timesink. People start their own servers here time and again, only to find out that they really DON'T have all the time in the world to put into it and the server goes away. What you're proposing will take much more commitment than starting and maintaining a server.
