-Is there a max number of people the server can handle? Felixd said "more than 5,000". I don't think there is a real answer to the question. It is a function of how much demand for the product there is. There doesn't seem to be a technological reason there can't be as many people listening to audio commentary as there are now reading text commentary. If the demand is there the resources may become available, if not from BBO directly then from another source. -It's possible to chat right? If you created separate rooms to chat in, the good thing is, I can talk with other bboers (or my parents, free long distance calls!) Is it possible...? Yes. Is it a likely outcome? No. If I understand this correctly, The resources used by people listening are "addative", i.e. 3 people listening take 3 times the resources as does 1. The resources used by people talking are "multiplicatative", 3 people talking take 9 times the resources as does 1. This may, of course, change in future releases of what is still a new product but the current implimentation is not designed for this type of use. Even the "addative" nature of listeners strikes me as being far too high. The limiting resource I'm talking about here is bandwidth, not server power. -Can we ask interested commentators to sign up? Those who'd rather talk than type, but still have some affinity with computers. Now is your chance. Currently most bbo vugraphs don't have audio commentary and the reason for this is lack of commentators. Unlike the text commentaries where having multiple languages in the same room would create more confusion than clarity with Mumble there is no reason not to have several channels providing commentary in different languages for the same room! What is needed is a Roland Wald to organize the effort. I am *not* volunteering for that position! Joe "Santyclz" Shair
