Yes Graham Paul did write a REBOL based IRC bot script long time 
ago.  It was more feature packed then eggdrop bots.  He kept revising 
it when he ran the REBOL channel on EFNET network.
Graham

and that #rebol channel is no longer in use?
A lot of us forget about the other channels out there.

No, it isn't as far as I know.

Just curious but how many concurrent users can Altme support?
Reichart

Hmmm, not sure, seems it would be a big number.  If 1K peple logged 
in and all started downloading messages at the same time it could 
be a port issue?
Graham

people used to talk about this 50 connection limit in Rebol ...
it might have been a myth though ...
I think we tried to test it once ... but never could get enough people 
to login
at the same time.

Hmmm, interesting...   Well, I'm not sure, but would also be interested 
in a proof of max....
Graham

well, need 1000 pcs with altme
Reichart

Yup...or 51... : )

can launch several altme on the same client, if they are differnt 
worlds or user installs, I think there is not issues.
Graham
24-May-2009
[3602x2]
one user can login under the same nick more than once .. true
ok, just need one PC with 1000 altme's running then.

I sometimes have a redraw problem on OSX. Anyone else having the 
same effect?
Chris

[3605]
Yes, specifically when I inadvertantly maximize or minimize the window.
Henrik

This is always the case for non-cocoa programs, it seems.
Maxim
25-May-2009
[3607]
probably just a question of having to refresh some object to allow 
bigger rasters when window resizes.
Graham

If anyone wants to play with IRC in a safe environment, they can 
connect to my experimental server at www.compkarori.co.nz
you can use Oldes' Rebol client as listed above

Did you get the bot features so that it logs yet?
ahhh web-public again.
Graham

[3612x2]
not yet ...
I don't know the commands or whether I need to install some module

Should I take this 50 user limit myth seriously?

I was going to use Altme for chat for a large group that could easily 
have hundreds online at onetime.
And is it an Altme problem or rebol based...Graham, does Synapse 
chat have the same limit?
Graham
25-May-2009
[3616]
how many users were you thinking of having online concurrently?

It could be well above the 50 limit. Maybe 100-200
Maxim

actually, its easy to figure out if rebol really has a 50 connection 
limit, just open a listener port and call a one line connection rebol 
script more than 50 times.

I guess no one has ever got round to stressing it.
there's about 10 users logged in here at present .. and the lag time 
is significant
but could be just internet routing
I never saw more than 15 users online with IOS messenger
Maxim

I've never traced user count to lag.
we've been two and it was 10 sec lag, and 15-20 and 1 sec lag.

inverse relationship?
