You know, I thought this too at one time, but I can tell you, you're wrong (and so was I). These people you look for are just not around; they leave everything running (Mirc server or client and what-not), but they are not there. The times I have caught them on, they have been very nice and cooperative to me.
But like I said, I used to *think* this, not go around ranting it, because if I would have, then I really would have them pissed at me and would never have gotten any help.
You don't need any help of any kind on running your own server - I didn't, and if I didn't , then no one else does. I learned everything I know right here in these forums. Not even the Wiki! Just the forums. When I needed to learn perl, I looked on the web, and MySql the same.
I'm "living proof" anyone can run a server and customize it anyway they want - all you need is the will and patience to do it.
Hell, I can hardly even type! no one ever taught me, so I have to look at the keyboard and find the letters with my two fingers.
