I don't really see how having more developer operators has anything to do with popovkasting, but whatevs!
it doesn't have much to do with it, but i'm illustrating that it's a more developer directed channel as opposed to ones run by tigsource nobodies.
Since you are one of the original popovkasters, you might be able to answer this: does the word Popovkast come from anything, or is it just a bunch of nonsense syllables?
popovkast comes from a portmanteau of popov (a cheap vodka brand) and poppenkast. the original idea was to drink while developing games but it turned out a lot of people were underaged, so that aspect kind of just died out.
