The key to banks is realizing they need to keep going even if you check out/lose interest. In this regard you're on to something with your board of directors idea.
This might also alleviate the grind factor, which is what leads to loss of interest.
Good luck!

Irony, eh?
Perhaps Erotica1 should create a contest in parallel with her bank operation, where people bet on whether her bank, once it gets off the ground and running, will fail in say a year or so.
To bet, all they do is post in this thread with, "I take your bet. You will fail."
If the bank succeeds (no absconding with funds, no failure to make payments, etc.), everyone who bet pays out to Erotica1 a sum equal to all the funds paid by the bank to its clients, because unlike bankers they're trustworthy and will of course keep their word, and then Erotica1 gives all that ISK to her clients.
If the bank fails, everyone keeps their ISK and gets to pat themselves on the back for having big brains, because they knew all along that all bankers are really scammers.
Or something like that.

Whatever Erotica does or doesn't do, it will be interesting. And likely as not, entertaining.
Surely that's worth the price of admission, don't you think?
