Would you want a counter of how many people are on the Flood forum at any given time?

As to see how many POSSIBLE replies you could get. So let's say it says 30 currently logged in users, and maybe it could say how many people are viewing the various topics on the flood. You would expect maybe 10 original replies, and maybe a total of 20-30 replies over the span of eh, rough guess, half an hour?

This could help people decide when to start a thoughtful discussion, rather than asking when there are 10 or so people on, where you won't get varied opinions.

Just a thought... I have seen other websites like this.

If you disagree, please tell why. I would like to know, maybe make me rethink the idea. I didn't see any obvious problems with this.

EDIT: I guess this could work on the other forums on B.net. Sorry for not including ya Community users! Derpy me at 3:30 am!

the fact or state of being indifferent; lack of care or concern and empathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions.

Don't see why not.

No since a the amount of people on doesn't really help a topic be any more or less successful. Then from the programming needed to do so would not be worth the time and effort on the web team's part.

Programming a user counter wouldn't take much time at all. Seeing that there are 300 users on, compared to seeing 30 I think would help progress a discussion a bit as well.

I don't see a foundation to these cons sadly.

Sure, I would love to have a counter of how many users are currently active.

Who am I?

mah twitter

Doesn't seem very useful, you can easily measure the activity by refreshing the page and watching how the threads move up and down.

I have nothing against it though, it couldn't hurt I guess.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Its existence wouldn't affect me whatsoever.

Never make me angry. I am a Hitman and I can easily find you and take you out.

I'm a banana and I support this! The mods should give us this as a christmas present.
