Who's Online? | World of Anime - The Friendly Anime Community

Awesome, I would love to get back to that level of participation! 31 members on at the same time! By the way, what do you think about bringing back the Online Status (showing your Last Online time on your profile), and Who's Online page? I purposefully left it off due to privacy concerns. In the original WoA your online status and Who's Online was on by default. You had to explicitly go into your settings to turn it off. If I were to bring it back, that would be reversed. The default would be off, and you would have to go into your settings and explicitly turn it on. I feel that most people would not do that, and the stats for Last Online and Who's Online would be very inaccurate due to most people leaving that setting off. But I have thought about bringing that back, with a link to your settings on the Who's Online page if you want to turn your status setting on.

I know... it's hard to believe how active and alive the old WOA was. But I know this version is even better and will eventually take off. I think bringing back the online status and adding a Who's Online page is a great idea. I know privacy is a major concern these days but personally I wouldn't mind having it on by default. After all it's not like it's a major risk for members to know who is currently online. And would be encouraging to see who is online and active. But maybe that's just me. I think it's a fun idea though no matter what route you choose to take.
