will there be a waiting line to get in just like in the rooms?
how many people can be chatting at the same time?
During our Saturday night anything-goes (almost!) chats which are also hosted by Jellyrolls, queen of the chat

, I've seen 30-something people on occasion. There does not seem to be a limit.
And DoomCookie - You don't have to re-register on the DISboards for chat. Chat registration is different from your DIS one. I just tested it - I'm now registered for chat as diskrista as well as for my regular name of KristaTX, and I'll decide which one to use depending on whether it's VMK chat or just plain DIS chat.
So I you can register as DoomCookie for chat at least. HOWEVER - I think you should re-register on the DIS as DoomCookie if it is available. It's a great name, and I have the hardest time remembering who is who if the DIS and VMK user id's are not similar. And your post count is low enough that you aren't going to "lose" a huge post count.
In fact I'd recommend that to any of the newer DISers from VMK. If your ID's are way different, re-register here with your VMK name before you are too well known or have a lot of posts that you don't want to "lose". But before I get into trouble -
re-register and do NOT ask them to simply change your DIS ID. They don't go around changing DIS user ID's for people who just
feel like a change. With 70,000+ members, changing ID's for whoever wants it is just not feasible.
