I agree with all your points. Trust me, I do. But what I don't agree with are the people that continue to call him a scammer. He wasn't scamming anyone, but the way he went about things was all wrong. Starting from the name, to the front end, to the code, to the IRC, to everything, he made a ton of mistakes. And yet, he was genuinely trying to get it all up on his own, but just didn't know how, so it came off as a scam-looking scheme.
And you're right, he needed a little bit more transparency about what exactly he was trying to achieve when he was talking about dumps. At any rate, I really doubt this is the last we've seen of that. When I was talking to him at one point in the conversation he said "No matter how many times I will fail I'll keep trying". I don't think he was joking.
PS: I understand the point you were making when you mentioned the new userbase. Nearly every new user thread was "I wasn't an ScT member before". At least Ch*** made an account.
EDIT: On second thought, maybe it's not so smart to post a member's name out here in the open.
