True, I just think Chatroulette is even harder because it requires lots of people online at the same time, pretty much 24/7, simply to function.
That reminds me of something else. During testing I found a major 'flaw' of RTMFP is that certain routers or settings cause it to not work. I believe it also affects some online games. It's possible to change the router settings, which gaming forums had info on, but obviously nobody is going to bother doing that for a Chatroulette site, even if they understand how.
Given that I had no idea how many people had routers like that, it seemed like just another reason not to bother. The problem did not affect chatroulette.com, so I'm not sure how they got around it; perhaps they use their own media server.

But in the nearly impossible case the site keeps up, it is 99% of male that shows, which on long run (again if site does not collapse), make you a gay site (which is profitable of course, but is gay niche).

Agreed. Though Chatroulette is a prime example of if you didn't do it first, and benefit from all the publicity, don't bother.
BTW, duk75: you're welcome.
