The Cafe idea sounds very interesting, but the fan base might be a problem at the beginning because the idea would basically have to spread by word of mouth. It can't just be a certain group of people, it needs to try to reach out to everyone. The ability to attract a large variety of people is one of the key things the internet has over real life.
The cost wouldn't have to be extreme. Renting a place shouldn't cost too much, the furnature could cost a good bit unless you look for used furnature. Then again, the mix and match style would kind of fit in with the TFP theme.
Hiring people to moderate wouldn't be that hard, just hire intelligent college kids who are open minded for minimum wage. Ain't the best paying job in the world, but I wouldn't mind having a job that where I would just sit around and talk.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
