User Activity Counter
 

Hey Brandon,
Bill Gold and I were just talking about how we check CD waaaay too much.. (Yes folks... some of us are addicted).

We were both kind of curious how many times we actually check during the day. Is there any (semi-trivial) way you can make a counter to display user statistics? (A private one, I personally don't want people know exactly how much time I waste on this absolutely wonderful site.)

If it's tough, just forget it.
Just an idea,

John

That might be a tough one even for Brandon. Do you know how many "JVNs" he's going to have to set the server up to keep track of on here! :rolleyes:

It might be easier to offer a CD Patch for those that are addicted. :p

says the boy who had to be publicly banned from this wonderful site so he would pass a semester

Re: User Activity Counter
 

Whoa, whoa, whoa big boy...

I passed the semester with flying colors.
I just happen to be a procrastination king, and it was much, MUCH, MUCH easier to study without the temptation.

My GPA has made it through 3/4 of college FIRST and is still holding strong. ;)

it wouldnt be hard at all if it was just to be done by IP address. Records by username are a lot harder.

Re: User Activity Counter
 

You're right about basing it on IP address being easier but if you don't have a static IP address or log on from different computers during the day it wouldn't work.

Re: User Activity Counter
 

I think my results would terrify me. Interesting idea though...IP address shouldn't be too much of a problem...and you could check multiple IP addresses if you used them.

There is a hack I can install which will keep track of how much time you spend on the site. I'll see how hard it is to install sometime this week, probably.

Re: User Activity Counter
 

What I want to know is rankings based on number of posts a day (I know I'm number 30 for total posts; which is still pretty scarey considering I've been on for 6 months!). I'm currently averaging 6.11 posts a day, but what's that mean? Surely somebody has a higher count then that!

Re: User Activity Counter
 

I doubt it... :rolleyes: I'm on all the time, and I only average 4.11 posts... Wow, that's crazy.

But, maybe you could make Brandon add that to the members list. Just another sorting option. (Work, Brandon! Work! :P)

Re: User Activity Counter
 

I take it that it looked hard to install?

Members ordered by post count. You are 29th on the list Astro!
And the archiver is not a member (but it does get rep points. :p ) It is a bot who archives posts. :-) Joseph M and myself have a lot of actual posts right behind Brandon Martus.

... or maybe Brandon just needs to add it to his To-Do List that is now the size of a small independant country.
