Skype Public Chat Limit Raised to 150
Dan York, over at Disruptive Telephony and a permanent participant in the Skype 3.x Discussion public chat, has just pointed us to Skype's announcement that the limit for participants in Skype Public Chats has been raised to 150.
Dan is perplexed (and I am also) as to why we often see the actual number of participants in the Skype Developer Public Chat is over the limit (whether 100 or 150). At 8:56 EDT this morning he saw (using the "/info" command in a Skype chat client) 201 "members" on the chat, yet less than an hour and twenty minutes later I get only 157. Did 44 members sign off within 75 minutes? (FWIW, I am running Skype 3.2.0.158.) Seems like the counter is having some difficulty. Or is it another "real time presence" issue?
BTW, if you use Pamela and upgrade Skype to this build (3.2.0.158) make sure you also upgrade Pamela to its latest version 3.5.0.54.

As far as I know it's just another presence issue. Skype sometimes doesn't realize that someone left and doesn't update the counter. And when all the events in the chat are finally received, the number is correct again. Kinda annoying ...
