Not as much as you're going to hate my reply :)

It wouoldn't be feasable at all. While it would be possible to set up
mail forwarding easily enough, the web thing would be more tricky. But
there's a more important issue than the practicality. By posting from an
amigactive.com address, there is the indication that you have some sort
of official connection with the magazine. This is why I only use
neil@amigative.com when posting something "official".
I did offer sub-domains of amiga.org.uk to UK Amiga companies last year,
but no one took me up on it.
