Remember that processes after fork do not have shared memory and it have to be replaced with something else because shared data is needed in chat system... very... Fork's have also limits, the best solution (in my oppinion) make processes that handle as much threads as they can, if limit is reached then fork and contact with that second process via fast file socket. It need of course prepare interserver communication but it seems to be the best solution (imho). For chatrooms it should be transparent solution.

Well currently i have a lot of work but I try to look at this code in this week and maybe comment that what is already done.

It's very important to know what we want to do, and how. It have to be specified at the start.

PS. sorry for my bad english. And yes I'm interessed in develop this kind of soft.
