Out of curiosity
« on: February 11, 2008, 08:21:14 AM »
How is the 'time logged' on the forums calculated?  Just by post time (how long it takes to type and hit submit)?

Also, I had a thought (suprise!) at the LAN.....is there a way and I know there is, to have a script capture what servers are being run at the LAN parties and display stats, uptime, players playing etc etc on the FITES home page (or sub page more likely) so we can have a clear view of who's playing what?  There was a time when there were a few people playing CSS and I had no idea until there were only 2 people left playing.

So I'm guessing it's never worked?

For the games, yeah, that is what we are working on and my part is moving slow cause I don't like the way .NET handles UDP or rather doesn't handle it.

The Time Logged for the forums is just time logged in. You logon and you get 15 minutes unless you click log out, but it's all the time you just sit there and read and since I refesh fairly often it logs a ton of time for me.

After 5 years, I can see how.  Mine is from less than a year of being registered.

Actually the time on the forums was just instituted after a recent revamp of the site. 
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.
