Here is an interesting concept, do want the database to querable. Like do we want to be able to search for evryone who plays chaos?
here is how the data structure is looking so fare
1) First name......text field Required
2) last name.......text field Required
3) email address...text field (key field) required
4) country ........text field Required
5) city............text field Required
6) armies owned and played... (multiple fileds yes no field) not required
A) Chaos
B) Imperial
c) orcs
D) cheerleaders from satan
ect ect
7) notes...........text note field most likely 254 characters not required
what we can do with this database would be dependant upon how a web interface would be built into it. I can set the DB up and will make an announcement for every one to e-mail me directly and compile it, it would be cool to have it accessable at the epic central web page, but I am not volenteering the guys who alrady do so much work on that site do do more wotk, but does someone else outthere have the expertese to make the database web accessable?

As a requisite if you participate and add all the stuff you mention as optional,
so as not to burden anyone who doesn't want to give out that much information.
The main thing is to have teh basic data to let people contact each other
for a game.
