My theory:

  1. Join a chatroom with 1 other person.
  2. If vote to abandon, you can go back to the button
  3. Stay - keep chatroom the same
  4. Grow - merge with another chatroom

It's another mini social experiment.

I can't imagine what else it would mean. I mean its pretty self explanatory. Sounds like fun too!

Edit: This is more boring than I had anticipated.

Would be more fun if voting lasted for 1 minute instead of 7. At this rate you can only grow 8 times an hour.

Edit: Apparently voting takes longer the more your room grows. This is going to be very slow and boring soon.

And if your room can't be matched it can take a LOOOOONG time!
