 MR> if it was so great why isn't it still around.

Mainly due to difference of opinion about how it should work. I wanted to do it right, others wanted to half-ass it. I cared about privacy and security, others didn't. It was a project that I started with friends and didn't want to continue without consensus, so I gave up.

The core idea was sound - networked messages, chat, games, a few other things, with almost no configuration required - and it would still be here today if I wanted it to be. There was no shortage of interest from sysops.
