I don’t even consider “sites” that only work on mobile apps to be “the internet”

I'm actually thinking about making the next version of this program a desktop peer-to-peer host and eliminating the Web presence" aspect of it altogether. I was working on an old school BBS in PHP last summer and had considered "including a Web interface at the time. Now I'm seeing how the two programs could be merged into a single application similar to PowWow.

We really need software to fill that niche. BitTorrent isn't really "community" oriented. WinMX doesn't have bulletin boards like PowWow had, and the PM system doesn't have the usual instant messenger interface most people are familiar with.

The new program would be written in PHP-GTK, which I've used in the past, so the same software would work identically on Windows, Mac, or Linux. It would be as easy to modify for sysops who know PHP as it would be if it were a normal website.
