I think you read too much into that.
I'm a web programmer, and a very ambitious person, so when I get an original idea, I usually jump on it. Some work, some don't.
What I'd like to do is develop a community with more features of communications, but with the same ideals, exclusivity and moderation of the TFP. If we could integrate audio chat into the site.... if we could integrate webcam chat into the site...
I see this stuff all over the place, but it's never done with any genuine humane motive. It's all about making money. I would like the provide the same services for free.
So add it up. TFP culture + massive interaction + a trustworthy watchful eye + free access based on behavior = Internet utopia.
