A forum with no members

Netbeans has a code colloboration feature and integration into real-time public chat rooms. Let’s see, I signed up an account and browsed the list of public discussions.

A big list shows up and signing into a few of them turned out to be empty.

How’s a new guy supposed to find some help?

A list of active and public discussions would be handy, or just cull inactive discussions periodically.

Another option is to limit the creation of new discussions when there are too few people on the system and funnel them to a few more populated areas.
