Hi Fillip,
To help reduce the server load on can you create a button saying "Make this real time" when a users makes a quickreply and only when you a certain percentage of users participating in the thread are "online"? This will make sure that real time updates are initiated by real members who are using it.

Also strike out threads from real time updates when there has been no activity on the thread.

You can maybe also extend the functionality to send a notification to the online members participating in the thread that "real time discussion has been enabled on this thread".

I think managing the real time updates selectively will make all the difference in this mod and it'll manage the server load manageable - instead of making all threads real time it should choose intelligently.

Regards,
Sid
