Did you guys get kicked out of the chat room again?

If so were you able to get right back in?

it wasnt long this time.

edit

scratch that :lol:

yep, In and out in and out

I was fun but erratic.
Boom all of a sudden I'm chatting with myself. :?

I had fun tonight also guys. but where was that bean guy. shows up for like 10 minutes then splits. :beating:

I think the guys in the white coats must have found him.

Well today I am going to research fixes for the issues we ran into, I may even look into other versions of chat rooms. I'll keep everyone posted.

oh shiottt today is tuesday not monday... i was thinking today is monday... hmm wonder if i missed anything in class yesterday??

hey...sounds like i missed all the fun! wow paul...did we break the record of 21? besides breaking the chat room? sorry i had to go...but my vball team would have been waiting for me....had a good time and won every game!! :shock: got some great slams in myself! :D thanks truly to everyone who showed up to chat last night...it was a lot of fun...and thanks paul for making it possible! wow...the club really showed up last night!! i was quite surprised! :D thanks again peeps...you are the best peeps i ever met...seriously!

Maybe next time you say you want to chat you will instead of splitting. ;)

PMS...it's a killer :P

I am NOT PMSing! Sheesh!

That was sooo worth the crap I'm gonna take. :D

Yes this is a duplicate post but for those of you that don't read the chat room sticky.....



Well I figured out why we are experiencing the mysterious auto-kicks in the chat room, in short it's the servers fault and not the chat room script.

The chat room script calls a Pearl process called "Server Push" which when called is a running process on the server. It appears that the server sets a maximum run time value for this process once it is started.

After some testing I have found that this process is killed 50 minutes after it is started and when it's killed the chat sessions are killed as well requiring you to log back in.

I can set the chat room to "Safe Mode" which will then use "Server Pull" preventing us getting kicked out because of the Server Push process being killed but if I do there are some disadvantages such as lag time, when you type a message there will be a lag of a couple seconds for everyone's browser Meta refresh to pull the new line down from the server and it will use a lot of bandwidth because everyone will be pulling data from the server (including old lines of chat) even if no one is saying anything.

So in conclusion we can try that or live with the 50 minute "auto kicks" that will happen by the server.



As far as the server crashing last night and being locked out I was told that they don't believe our chat room was the cause of it but they did see suspicious activity from three accounts on that particular server, one of which was us so they decided to lock them all out. It's a good thing I called them right away I guess.

Nope, the most I saw was 16.

sorry i missed the chat guys, but i was having a blast being VERY innebriated at the Billy Joel concert in Boston.

bummer on breaking the record...oh well...
