It will kick you out for inactivity - YES.
Perfect example was earlier this evening - a single person set in the chat room for over an hour. Noone else was in there but that one person. Please give me a good reason why I should foot the bill for bandwidth and utilize server resources for someone who's just sitting in the room. Same goes for folks whom go in the chat rooms and never chat or use the video...they just lurk in the corner or jack off or whatever they do. Point is- if you don't interact, you get kicked out.
Of course if you want me to start charging for the chat/video service - I can do that very easily too.
I don't think you will find to many(if any at all) of the other similar sites such as AL that even offer video let alone video/audio that is ad/banner free or free at all. The video is very bandwidth consuming and heavy resource hog on the server...that doesn't even take into account the cost of the video software. Before last week, the video portion was "outsourced" to a third party...and yes, it cost me money. I have since purchased the video hosting package and software. Let's just say the entry cost is around $5K...and that's not ALBuck$ either.
If you think I'm bullshitting...take a look at Adobe.com and search for the Flash Media Server pricing.
So my point is....please don't be to fussy with what is there or the very laid back rules of inactivity booting.
