I know it's a small thing but to suggest there's 24 people chatting in the Ask Ubuntu rooms is misleading.

  • Since the move to chat.se it reports the number of people chatting on the chat.se server. Not sure if that's going to change because of how the Chat API works Jan 23, 2011 at 19:30

This is by design, as we want natural cross-pollination between all "family" websites.

So when you see 24 people chatting, it means 24 people chatting at http://chat.stackexchange.com and you might find interesting people or topics you wouldn't otherwise have found.

And of course the chat house ad does show how many people are in just the site-specific rooms as well, so it's accurate in both dimensions.
