Stalking

[Dr Unne]

Did you know we have a <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/online.php">Who's Online</a> page that tells you what everyone is looking at? How often do you use this?

Did you know a sufficiently persistent member could write a simple script that automatically takes a snapshot of that page, say, every 5 minutes, saves and parses the data from it which is then entered it into a database, which would be useful for a variety of statistical analyses? I'm not saying I'm the kind of person who would do that kind of thing, but I AM saying I'm the kind of person who would do that kind of thing for someone else if the price is right.

How much are we talking, here? I need to be aware of every time Ashley Knight shoots Bleys a Private Message.

*shivers* Stalking is for people who are insanley interested in a person, or sum1 who doesnt have a life. I used to have a myspce, and there was this weirdo who went to my school, and sent me ALOT of weird messages. So I deleted my myspace, and I told that dude off, then he moved

This would be helpful in my quest to disturb Miriel with, "I know what you're doing", PMs.

Being able to tell who other people are PMing would require the kind of knowledge and privileges only a staff member possesses.

I use it to see if people are veiwing a thread of mine that I may have just posted. Otherwise never.

Is it me or has Unne put a little too much thought into this?

As for using Who's Online, I use it rarely, more to see if someone is replying in a certain thread. I check a person's profile on the occasion to see what they are doing though.

"...which would be useful for a variety of statistical analyses?"

BoB, how could you?

I'm sure Kishi is willing to learn.

[Raistlin]

Unne just wants to live out his stalker fantasies.

[Tavrobel]

Too bad this won't work for multiple tabs that are inactive for periods of time; of course, it still gets the first one.

*makes code, hacks the server, and records the data*

I've got you now Samuraid! DIE E-BATTOUSAI!

[Lawr]

Forgot about that!

Now I have an easier way to stalk Jojee, Psychotic, and Yamaneko!
Yay Unne!

Yes.

How often do you use this?

Quite often. Possibly just as much as (or even more than) Psychotic.

I do now. Thank you, Dr Unne.

It may be unprofessional, but: how successful has this venture been, Unne?

[Dr Unne]

What venture?
