I suspect the name of that troll would not come as a surprise to me.  Nevertheless, it is a tradeoff between a whole other net, and the difficulties of working with an existing one.  From a users POV, being somewhat naive, it seems a bit pointless and less convenient.

If one wants to start a 'net, why not just run the BBS for that purpose?  It's not like we can't call BBS's outside of our own region anymore.  Set up  a BBS for that topic, and just have the message forums local.  You'll have complete control.
