I've always found this members online thing interesting.......personally I never even paid attention to it, yeah I knew it was there, but so what, it's not that your nick is listed someplace BUT what you're saying in a post that has any importance to me.

But what IS funny and kinda interesting is the people who seem the most upset about the list seem to be the ones that seem to spend time scouring the list.....LOL........and I know they do because I once was accused of spending 24/7 on this board....remember that one tansy?.........truth of the matter is........I'm not here all that much, I just never log off......why?, probably to lazy to do it LOL........but to be accused of being here 24/7 with no posts...........come on.........you know if I'm here I'm gonna say something and probably something some aren't going to like ROFL......but on the flip side........for someone to accuse someone of being here 24/7 and that person has no posts, means someone is parked on the members list checkin nicks........paranoia at it's finest...........................raven


I haven't read one person who is upset about the members list being gone. Much ado about nothing.

Something they could do to cut down on points of arguement would be to take down the how many posts you have notation. Who cares? People get hit because either they don't have enough posts or they have too many.

Yes, people did use it for silly reasons that's for sure. I think a person's post count is more indicative of just how much they're using the forums. Doesn't mean someone is here 24/7 but just likes to chat more compared with others. So, maybe removing the post count is a good idea too. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}


LOL! I just said the same thing found! I'm usually at the top of prolific posters whenever "someone" posts that chart! Once in a while though I do have to pass the crown. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

That's an issue - people get hit! Who cares?????

I try to stay away from those type of personal observations/motivations.

I don't care who is listed as online..it is totally inaccurate anyway, might as well not have it.. I never knew that posters referenced it until people began posting things like "QVC so and so is on duty now"........

Absolutely. But if someone doesn't like what a newbie has to say they invariably get insults thrown because of it.

Yep ... since I don't sign out on one computer it shows me here 24/7 and I know that's impossible. LOL
