SI should package the site out to brokerage houses like an ASP model.

On the surface your idea has some merit but after some careful thought I suspect that the legal liability exposure for the houses would greatly outweigh any house enhancement value if they were to partner with ANY message forum.

There may also be some SEC regulations that would prohibit such a business relationship. If I have some time tomorrow I will search the regs to see if I am correct.

I'm not a techie but what i'm suggesting is that people accessing 'different' message boards, will actually be reading and posting on a common platform and accessing a common platform. Is this feasible?

I am certain that the above could easily be done although I am not sure how high the flames would fly by mixing SI, Yahoo and Raging Bulls members on one common site. More liability issues IMO.
