The NANFA mission statement says "to increase and disseminate knowledge
about North America's native fishes and their habitats among aquarium
hobbyists, biologists, fish and wildlife officials, anglers, educators,
students, and others, through publications, electronic media, regional and
national meetings, and other means"

The website you mention will easily fall under these guidelines. It is
things like this, even if it meant to be in good fun or with the best of
intentions that gets people and paying members very upset. If you have such
a URL and want to keep it a secret for whatever reason than you should have
never mentioned it, but now that you have you should post the link.

Just my 2 cents,
