Total members that have visited the forum in the last 24 hours

Everything is possible but I have always been against these statistical hacks to me they just seem tacky. They seem a way to me for forum owners to falsely prove how popular their boards are.

Still that being said, if the big cheese wants to put it to public vote he may do. Give him a chance to reply.

That makes no sense? How can you falsely prove real time stats? The stats are there to prove how popular a forum may be, even though they're just there for statistical reasons. Where does false come into this? Whether it is to show off is speculation unless otherwise mentioned by whoever owns and manages the forum, it would appear to be more for interest for members, rather than to show off :S

What makes no sense is your use of the term "Real-time" this isn't real-time stats is it? The WOL is real-time stats this is periodical statistics.

by retaining a massive list of usernames on your forum over an unneccessary time period. Why on earth is it so important or beneficial to our members to see how many people have logged on to our forum in the last 24 hours.

It's like saying if we retain a list of people who logged in in a 48 hour window then we will have a huge lists of people on our forum, some of which may have registered just to see what the crack is about. Some who do it to troll others who have been banned on other accounts, some just returning for a quick visit before leaving for another 6 months. This will make us look more popular than say clubhabbo.

It makes your forums look more popular or actively used especially on a day where several people have registered just to check it out and are never going to return again.

On top of that it will be inaccurate data anyway, I periodically log in to other members accounts when they are querying about account problems via support system and by forum, doing so it generates an updated last login which will throw off the stats anyway.

If it were to be implemented I would reccomend it should be done so for management only. Members are not going to benefit from the statistics in anyway shape or form.

imo implementing this on a total public way is the same as those websites that display in bold text.

HITS: 29283
YOUR IP: 78.55.67.56
ONLINE: 100%
MOST POPULAR MONTH: JANUARY

It's all completely pointless to a person visiting the site.

Aside from morbid curiosity it serves no purpose to the members.

I'm doing some more investigation into the idea I had about a stats page, I think it may have been confused because I don't care about hits, or my IP, or the most popular month. It's stats more based around the user, what they've done, top posters etc.

I'll post the addon if I find it, it's really awesome.

More than likley what ross has said, in post above but what is being suggested is what clubhabbo have at the bottom of their forum.

Sort of like that, but a bit more... Well a bit bigger lol. I've got an example, here:

Show Hide

Yee dig???

[GoldenMerc]

You can make it like that i think Ryan, You choose what you want and where it goes rly.

[Pyroka]

Ah alright, well it looks pretty and it goes on a seperate page, so it doesn't clog up the main forum page. It's just another link on the navi.
