How to help? Click this link... and chat away! We need to see how many concurrent users it can handle before Saturday's WoR stream, so let's try and fill this thing up over the next hour. If you can't chat, we'd appreciate you just logging in and keeping the window open.

Claimed first and second, then became a test subject for the mute button, lol. Conversation looks like it's running fine for me on an iPad running Chrome. If you do give it facelift though the bottom text bar looks pretty small.

This is like straight out of the node socket.io demo app. Its insanely easy for me to take the whole thing down.

Open up your java console and enter this:

essentially it will try to count to 10000 as fast as your browser will let you.

for(var i = 0; i < 10000; i++){ socket.emit('sendchat', i); }

This will crash everyones browser connected to it.

Might I suggest some anti-spam logic?

glad to see you guys are at least checking user access rights on the server side. I thought I was going to be able to mute and delete peoples posts for a second ;)
