Room active

Can you keep the room open, even if nobody is there?
When no one is in the room, the room will be closed after 30 minutes.
How can we stay it ?

In /config/default.json you can edit

"LobbyTerminator": { "terminate_time_ms": 60000 },

where "terminate_time_ms" is the time until the osu-ahr will close the lobby, which is set to 1 minute (60000 milliseconds) by default when the lobby is empty. You could maybe change it to 6000000 (100 minutes) or something, I'm not sure what the max value is.

However, Bancho may close inactive lobbies regardless of what this value is set to. Best course of action is to stay in the lobby until it has a decent amount of people in it before you leave; oftentimes having a populated lobby will keep it running for a while without terminating.

Lobbies are typically listed in multi by how long they've been open, so longest standing lobbies will be at the top of the list which makes it harder for a new lobby to gain traction. Even if you hang around for a while until people show up, there's still the possibility that Bancho will terminate it if the lobby goes vacant for too long.
