Having been the founder of a state channel on IRC with 10,000 users I am unable to comment on this because it will get me banned.
I will tell you the parties were great - statewide - every weekend. Women wanted to be with me and men wanted to be me. Then I grew up and I handed the channel to my top SOP. He ruined it. To this day I will not speak to him. Damned idiot. It could have been monetized. He could have been benevolent.
My benevolence payed off handsomely. I asked a chick on the channel flirting with me to explain Heisenberg uncertainty as a brush off, and when she did I married her.
She sounds like a keeper!
