My three year old could have figured out that was a bad idea, it's simple math and common sense. because it's not really chat rooms , it's just a slightly larger group chat at the moment, nothing else. Sc2 needs an irc-like chat , not this | ||

If mirc can do thousands I don't see why a game in 2011 can't do more then a handful. That can get pretty crazy if a number of them are talking. That said I have been in chats with 80-100 people and they really don't seem to be talking all that much, except of course when there is a game and everyone wants to observe, lol. | ||

Your three-year-old doesn't even have Facebook integration. | ||

Yesterday my connection to BNet died, and since then I'm unable to join the channels I would normally have auto-joined. This includes channels like TLgeneral and TLkoth. When trying to enter one of those channels it basically behaves like I was already in, ie. gives no feedback at my attempts to get in at all. yah same happened to me. Pretty annoying :/ | ||

I can see quite some troubles if the amount of people in a room was unlimited. Imagine 1000 people in the same channel all chatting away. How on earth could you keep up a discussion? | ||

How on earth could you keep up a discussion? It works fairly well with nick-highlighting and PMs, like in IRC; just go to #teamliquid on quakenet to see if you can get into a conversation. | ||
