Hmmm, there are pros and cons.  Yes, it's important that the room get
downloaded.  But say I step into a room just to check it out, and nobody's
there.  Or, I'm involved in a conversation, and I try to move, to find out
I've clicked on an exit.  Say I'm also on a 28.8kbps link, and the server's
link isn't too fast either.  I'd like to get back to my previous room.
Rooms can be over 200k, so it might be a few minutes before I can get back
to the previous room.

At this point, a newbie might say "this sucks," and go try some other chat
program.

This coin definitely has two sides.
