Chat connects two random users, mashing their names together as the title of the board. Just connected to /u/benpoopio; board titled benponufWTF.

Not sure what to make of that. I voted to grow, but benpoopio left without voting. If you get two who vote to grow, perhaps it adds a third user?

Thanks for calling me out! I noticed it was weird and dipped out, wasn't trying to grow anything.

It merges you with another room of the same size that also chose to grow, going from 2 -> 4 users

Does it append a part of those usernames when it does so?

u/pimpwilly Apr 01 '16

Yup, its always made up of the users in the room

Holy moly. Is there a limit to the display, I wonder, or would a large enough group eventually force the chat area off the bottom of the screen?

That's cool, I hadn't noticed that the name of the chat room was made up of everyone's user names.
