You are definitely looking in the wrong place. I've been a part of the 
community through this mailing list for many years now, and I've found the 
people here to be quite capable of both taking and creating humour.

Nothing stopping you. I won't be visiting it though :)

Mailing lists and/or newsgroups are available to all and don't require a 
hefty web server since the reading of the messages is distributed.

Er, hello, have you _visited_ www.pygame.org? On that page there's a link to 
the mailing list, irc chat info, code repository, and so on. The mailing list 
is an excellent place to ask questions or punt ideas to.
