Yeah that's true... similar to what @thelavishtrader said in their comment. ChainBB is fun anyway... though I do think the real winner will be MangoChat if that ever becomes a real thing. It's a similar idea of discussing topics with friends, but the real time chat thing was cool.
Too bad that service never developed, but Brian told me he does still want to do it, he said he's just thinking. For now, I'll keep playing with ChainBB.
