I never thought that the GIGI chat would kick the shit out of my chat engine so badly. Jason and I were frantic to get the thing up and working and were making patches to the software minutes before the chat was going to happen. Even while 40 to 50 people were already waiting. Then when the time rolls around we max the user limit. Jason had to open up the IRC server to more users just so gigi could get in. So we finally peeked at 171 users. And i have to say this was a trail by fire. I need to get things in the code hashed out. A lot of things i did to make the code work actually made it fall apart with hundreds of users. I need to go back to the drawing board with some of the code and just rethink everything. but all in all it was a great time. Gigi seemed to be having a great time and fans were going nuts to be in an unmoderated chat with somebody. anyway, ideas are going through my head of how to make things better. Back to the code.
