I hadn't noticed it. To be honest I don't speak to or hang out with many in my old circle that would have been a natural fit. Writers in general are pretty ego driven and the few I did hang out with just became insufferable. Neat idea though, I'm sure it will bring some cool people in.
E: Just saw your last comment, def dont have to be writers but its an easier sell. Channel 0 is awesome. If I can think of anyone that still uses boards Ill send an invite their way as CH.O can be fun for all kinds of people.
