tbh, it feels small, and for something that works and is pretty nice, we all need to spread the word

We need more specifically public chats as well, that was the big benefit of AIM over everything else, meeting new people.

That is why I was saying AIM needs a chat index page for the website. :) If we had a list of what chatrooms were "chatty" perhaps more people would join those rooms.

SELECT CR.RoomName, count(CR.RoomName) MemberCount
FROM ChatRoom CR
JOIN RoomMembers RM on RM.roomname = CR.roomname
GROUP BY CR.RoomName

The only down-side is that there is no way to specify the difference between private and public rooms, but that would kinda make it more fun. Just make them all public like IRC. It's our AIM now. lol

BOOM!

everyday I try to promote AIM Phoenix and Escargot I think it is a good service that you guys do and I agree it need to be more instant messengers and chat.

I would like to work on one for my site.

I'd hope to God that chat state isn't stored in MySQL, that'd be a huge bottleneck ;-P

It'd be better to periodically push the chats and member counts to a file or process that will handle updating the database, otherwise everytime someone joins or leaves a chat, that's a write to MySQL and blocks the entire thread.

And eventually, we'll have to swap that yellow AIM guy for an actual phoenix, just to avoid further AOL/Oath complications.
