Could the archive be run by a few "power users" ?
I have no idea how your web site is organised but maybe one or
preferrably a few users can get together and look after the
recent user contributions / archive totally.

Preferably still hosted at www.RapidEuphoria.com but if that
isn't possible it could be at another site with a link from
the RDS page.

Just an idea.  Have put anymore thought into other than what
I have mentioned.
