Hey All,

I would recommend taking a very close look at the costs and conditions 
with OC before choosing them. We have been using them with lurk.org for 
a while and we are a bit disappointed with the very high fees involved, 
confusing tax compliance and we are increasingly concerned about the 
long-term stability of the organization. There have been some strange 
organizational splits and crypto-finance murmurings from the leadership. 
If you can be your own "fiscal host" the costs/risks are more reasonable 
and it does have a convenient signup and UI but I would suggest being 
very cautious before putting all your eggs in that basket.

Peace & Love,
-Brendan
