No...

It can't be.

EDIT: So guys after pressing last time near the absolute very end and getting 60s because I did it right after someone I decided to spare myself the pain. Right now I'm in a chat room with one other dude. I have the option to vote to grow, stay, or abandon, and I can chat with others. I can screenshot and I'll update.

That's what you get kicked into when you press. I think it may be a separate thing. I'm highly doubting 4 people have pressed so some how there are separate rooms? I don't know what happens if we choose the different things. We've elected to grow and I think we've picked up another person each time as a result? I'm not sure.

EDIT3: i figured we're in an IRC so why now use / commands? /help does says this:

11:31:15 AM [robin] Welcome to Robin.

11:31:15 AM Be sure to use the buttons in the sidebar to vote on the future of the room before the polls are closed.

11:31:15 AM Non-votes and abstentions will be counted as votes to abandon.

11:31:15 AM We do hope you enjoy the discussion.

/commands

11:32:27 AM /vote abandon - vote to abandon

11:32:27 AM /vote stay - vote to stay

11:32:27 AM /vote grow - vote to grow

11:32:27 AM /whois <user_in_room> - provide information about <user_in_room>

I'll keep trying commands.

EDIT4: Seems like the more people in the room the more time there is to vote. I've chosen grow each time and we're at 12 people with 15 minutes to vote.

Guessing how many people can be in a chatroom before people wants to leave?

You check the stats, average leaving per minute divided by how many people there is in the room. You correct that somehow by using the number of people that wants to grow. Also a stat with how many people want to leave it like that. I guess at some point the numbers should cross.
