I just felt a little in the dark when the site went down and mainly just needed someone to hold me.

This is actually very understandable to me. I've considered asking nonnakip to implement some sort of IRC box similar to how BitFunder does it to avoid the need for any moderating.
I hate IRC boxes. I could implement a message board. I would make it public for the world to read. Posting requires membership status = at least 1 seat owned. I think it should only be used in emergency when bitcointalk.org is down. Otherwise fans must check 2 places for updates and I know fans do not like that.
I just feel especially guilty asking nonnakip for anything right now, as I know the pool implementation and the transferring of seats to BTCTC members are currently taking up too much of nonnakip's time.
Asking is always allowed. Allow me decide if I have time.
