Is there anything wrong with a WHILE statement in a thread?

Also, would it be bad to put a blocking function (i.e Receive() in sf::Socket) in that while loop?

There is nothing wrong with having a while statement in a thread, as long as it doesn't enter an infinite loop. Putting a blocking function in there will freeze up the thread if you don't receive any data. It wouldn't be bad if you are sure you will receive data.

Good, thanks.
