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

Just curious but how many concurrent users can Altme support?

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?

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....

well, need 1000 pcs with altme

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.

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?

Yes, specifically when I inadvertantly maximize or minimize the window.

This is always the case for non-cocoa programs, it seems.

probably just a question of having to refresh some object to allow 
bigger rasters when window resizes.

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.

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?

how many users were you thinking of having online concurrently?

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

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

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?

lol

anyway, someone should do some testing to see what the limits are 
for concurrent viable connections for  a rebol based chat server

hum... wouldn't you, like, be the best person to do those tests  
 ;-)

Lots of people could do it.

Max ... you got disco'd !!!

we found the limit.

hahahaha

I actually pressed the close button by accident  ;-)

awwww....

but don't you actually have a chat server software against which 
you can implement a client-side test connection loop?  ;-D

Yes.

but it uses BEER so it might reach a BEER limitation

well if we can reach 100 connections to beer..  we definitely will 
have a party (or a brawl)  ;-)

well, the source is there .. just modify it to login automatically 
and start sending serial numbers to see if they are returned.
