Recently on my forum this issue was brought up, and I agree with it.

user(s) active in the past 50 minutes
50 minutes is way too much. Its just to make the board look active right? yes.

I would like to see which users are acctually online maybe set it to around 15? 20?

Who agrees? Disagrees? and why?

People honestly have a spaz cause a online counter is high seriously, can you focus on something that will actually help the board.

High or low the forum's activity is great, seriously i see so many topics about this and it get's to a point where i think people just go around saying oh your time counter is 60 clearly your trying to cheat,

There not hiding it or saying it's at 15 when really its a million, besides ask yourself this-


Would you rather join a board with 5 members online and 15 minute counter or 32 members online and 50?
It comes down to appealing to the new members and then they become active and presto :D


Driver said that a while ago in another topic just like this one.

and I have to say I agree with him on this one but let's hear what others have to say...

I'd also like to mention if you feel that bad and want to know who is online, just click that little button under the member's that say last click mmkay, then you can see who is really online by the time mmkay.

How so?

I mean everything is clearly marked accurately as to what time we have it set to? I mean it's not our fault if people choose not to read the time it is set to AND the more people shown online the more likely someone is going to join as an empty forum with no one or hardly anyone online isn't' attractive to anyone thinking of joining.

It's not cheating, nor tricking. We do not have a script installed that shows an X time instead of the real time that it was used on. People can figure that out and then they leave. So the best bet is to not tamper wiht it and go on.
