Hey there and sorry for not being online lately.
We actually have such a function: when you enter the chatroom, a log of the last 2 minutes of activity is shown to you so you know where matters stand. But you get all the chatter and everything that happened.
I’m not sure if we can actually extend that period to say, half an hour, but there would be other concerns:
– Privacy (people could still open their own rooms for serious stuff, but how often do people feel totally secure to babble about everything once there is no one else around in the room?)
– You’d get bombed with 30 minutes of babble – all at once (and all for you. Once you happen to stumble into a lively conversation)
– Database size (no so much a concern, but when google send their bots they sometimes also kill the server without any other ressource hog around)
I see where you’re coming from, but isn’t that the same as the “who’s online” bar?
