I'm certainly not adverse to the idea, but I do want to make sure I wouldn't take up too much space on your servers, and I'd rather not have to move the site again after 2-6 months.  I'd like for it to have a permanent home, at least for a while (meaning a year or so).

F5hosting does allow a 30-day policy, so I could cancel and we could try this, but before you are certain you can do this, check out:

The message board software we will be running: phpbb

and the PERL program which will handle our registration functions:  Account Manager LITE.

If you look back in the posts, I posted the websites for both of those.  Also, I checked last night, and the site already is about 4 Meg, and that is without a lot of heavy graphics and such.  So I have no idea how much it will grow, or how fast.

I guess the question is: how much space and traffic are you (one or both) willing to offer to the RPG site?
