Oh bless you!

It's a chatroom, where you can talk to other people in real time. The number you are seeing is (or at least meant to be) the number of people that are in the chatroom at that time.

I'm not sure why it is throwing you out though.

Hi Busy Bee Lee

Welcome to Rootschat.

The number in brackets shows how many people are in the chat room, not the number of messages you have.

There's more help here

http://www.rootschat.com/help/rootschatter.php

I think you need a couple more posts to get into Chat. Reply to this and try again.

It can be fast and furious in there.

Good luck.

I told them you might go in.

They will be very welcoming, just say hi, stick around for a while and then leave.

You will most probably join in, in the middle of a conversation.
