I understand the principle quite well, however, I don't see it as added value
to the platform at this time. Idlers will be idlers and will setup a client
to sit there and never look at it.

Now, with the current approach, they need to make the effort to log onto a
BBS, enter the chat room and they will more likely participate. I value
quality vs quantity and the main goal is to have people log into a BBS and
discover that side at the same time.

Cheers!
