SuperRTL was searching for a powerful replacement for their obsolete chat
server. The GroupChat Server offers just that.
The visual customization of the GroupChat Server is freely definable in flash.
Combined with the open interfaces this not only allows the development of any
kind of animation, but also enables the implementation of avatars. In the
specific case of SuperRTL, the chat is conducted via individual, usergenerated
avatars. The users also have access to another visual feature. The toggo
shockers allow chatters to send oversized greetings across the screen to other
users. This feature constituted a USP for our client, as these kinds of
messages are not possible with traditional emoticons.
In order to cope with the high volume of traffic that this portal has a
separate moderation room was set up where several moderators can supervise
multiple chatrooms simultaneously.
By optimizing the interface for young children, the chat has become easier to
use and is visually more appealing to its target group. The Server can easily
accommodate more than a thousand users simultaneously in multiple chatrooms
without reducing its performance. And with over 200.000 users it is imperative
that the chat environment supports load balancing for the moderation process.
Think5 were also able to provide themed chats without stretching the customers
budget by utilizing the highly granular nature of the rights-structure in the
jabber environment.
