custom position tournaments

I recently have been discussing an idea, and I would appreciate your feedback on this - 

I have created a forum (actually started this one a long time ago, but approaching it more seriously this time) that speaks about creating custom position tournaments.  This could be anything from beginning at an opening, a middlegame, and endgame...the possibilities are endless.

This would allow players of chess.com to reveal novelties, if they desire, and open a forum for discussion, and then create thematic tournaments around their novelties.

Also, it doesn't have to be original ideas - we could explore ideas that are "on the market", so to speak, and discuss and play positions in tournaments.

This would also work in 1 on 1 games - if you simply wanted to play an idea against a friend, you could upload the custom starting position.

I was curious if you would read my forum, and if you are interested, if you would post ideas in this forum:

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/tournaments/custom-position-tournaments

You don't have to respond in there, but I would appreciate any feedback.  If chess.com sees this idea as something that is valued by its customers, they may take a better look at creating the ability to make custom positions in the starting tab.

Thank you very much, my chess friend...
