In some cases, is it possible to use "in here" even if I don't speak about room? For example if I'm talking about a web site? e.g.: "I don't believe (that?) I found you in here." or "There are a lot of people in here." (Frankly, I'm not quite sure about this 2nd sentence at all - "there" and "here" in one sentence... but it sounds familiar to me...somehow :-)
Thank you

Hi Lenka,
Welcome to TCP. Great avatar.
Especially in a chat room, we say "in here" a lot. I'm not sure if you're talking specifically about a chat page or not, but it would sound most natural to me.

Example with "people" was just example, I can also say "there are a lot of great comments in here" if I'm talking about a blog, or "there are a lot
