I used to work for eDonkey as their support minion, a file sharing program of yesteryear. We had forums, and a user there was far more helpful to all the newbs than I was. We started chatting from time to time, then more often, he even came up to meet me while I was down in NYC for the summer. We kept in touch, he helped me manage a dedicated server I'd bought somewhere. I felt bad because he was managing it and I wasn't paying him, he felt bad because he was using it and not paying for it. Then I started https://wonderproxy.com/ https://wonderproxy.com/ he was a natural choice for co-founder, and we've been growing ever since.
