If you've ever been the leader of a mapless, or possibly even a mapped RP, there's a 99% chance you've lost members due to you being "inactive." What these members don't realize is that their leader is probably online more often than they think, just not at the same times.
Don't like inactive members, or just need to clear out? How do you tell the difference between new members and old, inactive ones? Unless the said character has this in their bio, you won't be able to tell very easily.
My idea is a small, simple one, but in my opinion would help RP leaders greatly. The first topic; the "Activity Recorder," would record the last time a certain member of a group was online. The scale would be displayed at the end of a player's name in a group listing. This way, you could tell the last time certain people were online, and you could average the times together and figure out a member's usual time.
The as for the "Joined" record, this would be listed under or beside the Activity Recorder, and would list the date and time of someone whom had joined a group. In this way, group leaders could easily see which of their members were most active, and how long they had been in the group.
So what do you think? Before anyone mentions the fact of Kovu being gone or the source code and all that mess, I know about that problem and have heard about it many times over. So just say your opinion on the features, and let's see what you all think! :D
I've often wondered about this o.o ~ It's hard to tell when users are active and such, but if a leader is on as often as they say they will be, then they'll know exactly who's active, who's not, when people log in and how long for. It's like a daily ritual, if they're dedicated to their roleplay, they will know the ins and outs of it without the need of timers set in the group.

I suppose when it comes to time zones, it would be hard to tell when people have and haven't been online. In cases like these, I think it probably would be best to have something like this on the group members list... If only it were possible...
