I made an account and am on a waiting list. It wants me to invite people to bump myself up in the queue. Or pay. The site looks very 2000s PHP CMS. I'm not sure what it is. I searched for a topic I'm interested in, something came up, and I clicked...and it bumped me back to the main page where it shows my place in the list. Why would I invite people or pay money for something if I have no idea what I'm getting?
