gollark: I think the interesting part of SC and whatnot is that you have a big and long-running enough server that you can get dynamics like economies and towns and whatnot arising from it.
gollark: I meant that more than 10% of people who are *ever* users for a significant amount of time probably use CC.
gollark: Although it might not be an issue with that as much as just network effects.
gollark: I would like to run a mildly-more-than-CC server, but we've seen from CN that people appear to get bored of that faster somehow.
gollark: 10%? I'm sure it's higher on SC. Unless you count really inactive ones.
