Color Coding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Color Coding the userlists:
Yes, I think there should be an option to Color Code Users that have slots , and those who don't.
Thanx,
Silence

Any method by which users with free slots could be displayed would be great, but would increase hub bandwidth too significantly to be worth it. Every time that someone had a free slot, they would report that to the hub, the hub would report it to all the users, and then 10 seconds later when that slot disappeared due to someone taking it, they'd report back "slots all taken" to the hub, it'd be reported to all the users in the hub, etc. Consider a user with 9 slots, then consider 250 or 1000 users with 9 slots. It adds up fast, too fast to be worth it.

Perhaps it could be worked so that the number of slots would only be updated at the users request. For example, a user wants to see how many slots everyone else has open or whatever, so he presses a button or something and whatever function it is queries everyones info the same way as a search and the list is updated for that person. It would only take up more bandwidth at that persons request, which would be more practical, considering that someone probably won't constantly be watching slots.
Maybe that would work better, i don't know, im not a bandwidth expert or anything.
