-<h2>The Original Internet Hosting Cooperative</h2>
-<p><em>[Whatever text we put here should be catchy and highly relevant to prospective new members. I just grabbed this from the wiki for now.]</em> We're a registered Pennsylvania (USA) non-profit corporation with HcoopBylaws that put complete control and ownership of the co-op in the hands of the members. Each member has an equal vote on issues ike electing the board of directors. The board makes all of the day-to-day decisions that control how the co-op works socially and technically.<br />
-<br />
-HCoop is also recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(12) tax-exempt cooperative, and thus is not liable for any federal income tax. </p>
