wow, what a kind reply. Thank you!

For now, it's just a pet project, I'm not yet sure in which direction to go. But I'm pretty sure it's not going to be like hipchat, in the sense that it will not be just a place to chat with co-workers or friends.

I would like to capture the spirit of IRC as it was in the 90's, really. A place to hangout and have mass discussions with lots of people...
