Who is Online?

just a thought, and probably not an interesting one because most people <i>probably</i> dont even use it. the Who is Online? feature lists evey user online... including every individual guest and where they are.

this is fine, but instead of having this list, with 00's of individual guests and where they are.... why cant it just be 'there are #xxx guests in these areas: #area1, #area2 etc....'

just a thought and as i said, hardly anyone uses it so it probably wont get changed.....

i only suggest this because its seems pointless.... unless it looks differently for moderators in which case.. make the item i suggested a link also that DOES list the guests as they currently are.....

Ehh, I think the way it is now is fine.. ;) Not to dismiss your idea, by the way.

haha just a quick question but uh.. how do you know "hardly anyone uses it? " i use it all the time..

then perhaps someone <i>would</i> notice and it will get changed :p hehe.... i just thought if nobody used it often, then noone would need it changed for the better.

I use it often too ! btw: Whats up with these two guys making 5 suggestions per day ? If they don't like it like it is now, damn leave ! I think if we ( some of us who have been here at least 2 years) didnt like the list we would've requested a change !

Im talking about Xierox and Cyber...its ok if you make a suggestion, but think it through very good !

You're just giving mnstrgrl more useless work to do !

edit: If it's true that you'd been here that long, then I apologize to you ! but still, we all need to think through some suggestions .

this link is my roll call..... it explains i have been around for about 4 years now ... maybe even 5.

yeah i c the roll call, but it doesn't explain how long you've been here... jp's only not been the owner for a little over a year...

ok. so maybe i should explain a little more??? what exactly would you like to know?? i know that i discovered this site in yr8 high school, and was always around from then..... and thats going back almost 6 years ago....

and im sorry if newbies see flaws that older members are used to and therefore dont see a problem with it?? maybe its just a fresh insight?

8th grade is high school in australia?

im just ****ing with you dude, you don't need to prove your worthiness at ao to me, don't worry, your posts do that on their own, don't be upset

Umm..? @ this thread. Anyways, CyberTecOne no offense but I don't care how long you've been here for. And MemorY: can you type normally like you used to? Just asking.. k I'm done now. :D

Well, I can see your point, but I use it all the time. And, I like seeing where the guests are. It gives me an idea of where a newbie might be coming from if they register and start asking questions.

Example -- about 1 in 10 of the guests are reading threads about how to hack passwords. About 1 in 25-30 are reading about network security. About 1 in 5 are reading 'Tech Humor'.....and so on. With these numbers in mind, and 3 new people sign up in one day, we will usually get 1-2 tech support questions. ( I know, it doesn't make sense)

You have to also take into account that a lot of these guests are coming from other JupMedia sites that have a direct link into our forums.

That statement is false by the way. Most of our new members are either asking a tech support question or a malware type question. And although you will see some guests reading the applicable forums, I don't think they are the ones who are registering to ask questions. They may register to be able to use the search functions though.

moxnix,

whats the difference... for everything you described to me, the original thread idea would be perfect.. because it says there are this many guests in these locations, instead of a list with guest1 location 1, guest2 location 2. etc

Anyways was only a thought.

Thanks for the speedy reply

Awesome. Just keep those pointless suggestions a'comin b/c we all greatly appreciate them and they seem to make you so much more popular. Actually they piss people off. Like me for instance. I'm already pissed. Considering that I'm usually the first though, this is just a sign that the rest will follow soon if something doesn't change. With all of your trivial suggestions to us lately, I think I am entitled to at least one for you: stop posting stupid sh*t and get a life! Suggestions are good - but learn to pick out which ones are really important and which ones aren't (like this one) before you click on the "submit" button.

*edit*
and oh ya - I use that feature too.

weazel.. i mean keezel,

thats taken completely out of context. i was meaning its pointless having it the way it is now, thats why i was suggesting a new way.

Anyways, as i said before, im sorry if fresh perspectives see flaws in things you are just used to....

It's not at all pointless... if only you'd know what I use that list for :)

Can I close this thread without you starting another one on the same subject? That was rethorical...
