You really ought to give WinMX a try to see how these programs work.
You can open and close a channel at the drop of a hat. No Web hosting needed. It's not a website. It's literally a chat and BBS server that you run on your own computer - the ultimate in not letting corporations control your online presence and content. These programs were immensely popular in the days before YouTube when the only way to get free music was to steal it.
You can be in more than one channel at once. For instance, you could open your channel and hang out in a busy channel while you're waiting for people to show up in yours. Once you get a reputation for being a great host, people will come in every time your channel is open.
I got the bulletin board working, BTW.

The setup is no big deal. There'll be a cheat sheet to get you started.
