Chatting Client

Im new to VB.Net, and programming in general, otherwise I wouldn't be asking this question. Does anybody want to make a chatting client with me? Like make a website where they register handles, and have the handles and passwords saved in a database, also have it then recognize them as logon names and passwords so the user could chat with friends/co workers/teachers etc...
It could have capabilities like Webcam, Connect to server using Proxy, Tabbed instant messages, ability to be on more than one name at a time, direct connections, sound transfer (which would probably be one of the hardest features), buddy list, eMail, free updates, skins, administrative authority for admins. Administrative ranking, Head Admin, Net Admin, Server Admin, Help, Assistance, Getting started, and banned words in screen names such as *****, B*tch, Sh*t, D*ck, etc... Also screen names like _B_L_I_N_D_, with all types of chars. like ~!@#$%^&*()_+=-`/.,;'\][{}|:"<>? and alt codes etc.. This would take some planning, and a lot of work, and people to advertise so we could keep the site, but it would be fun, and maybe we could get people off of programs like Yahoo!, AIM/AOL, and Windows messanger. Or have something like Windows messanger where all the have to do is know the persons IP, but those are common, and NetMessaging through internet protocals is dangerous because it could be engineered in a dangerous way, so that people could send viri, trojans, and hack with open ports when connected. What I hope to accomplish with this project is friendship with fellow VB[dot]Net programmers, and a safe environment for people who like chatting clients. I would also like to work with hackers on this, and hopefully people who have hacked AOL/AIM stuff like Merlin, WHAOPS, or Social Engineers and protocal experts. Although I have tried hacking AOL/AIM stuff, and on some accounts have succedded, it would be good to have insiders on the job. Most of you are probably thinking what a dork I am for wanting to make a chatting client in my first few days of programming, but I hope that it will be a learning experiance. I would also like help comming up with a name, like CWM(Chat With Me) MWVBN(Made with Visual Basic [dot] Net) OMS(Online Message System/Server). If we were to buy a domain name(Which I would pay for), we could give out free eMail to attrack customers. If you have any comments or questions, or if you would like to help out, then
eMail me or contact me via AIM/AOL Instant messaging. My screen name is Cubs Anonymous.
Thanks for all your help/support!
