Fwd: [sldev] Question: Replacing current group chat with XMPP?

[Ambrosia]

SL's largest group has..around 2500-3k members right now.

in orders for the IRC server having to serve all those people at once,
they -all- need to be logged in at once at the given time. And most
groups are way below that number. I don't see it as too much of an
issue right now, but I'm all in favor of tests :3
