Amount of People in a Map
« on: March 26, 2017, 08:18:23 am »
(Sorry for asking so many questions. I just wanted to say something about this)

I noticed there is no longer a list at the side of the screen showing how many people are in which maps. This would be useful to have back, or if there is a way to view this now, it would be great to tell me how to. :)

I know you can see how many people are connected to the server, but not which maps.

Hopefully the staff considers it!

It was taken out after the hacking incident I believe. I don't know if there was a reason behind this or not, but I would like to see it come back.

I don't believe it was necessarily removed because of the hacking incident, but moreso of the site updates the forums have been having. Perhaps Razmirz will bring it back onto the site, perhaps not- although I don't think a lot of people used to use it in the past; I for one, didn't.

It was useful for which maps were best for advertising. It's kind of a thing to advertise in The Grounds, but the second best.

It also showed some custom maps, giving them a bit of advertising. XD

Ohh yeahhh, I completely forgot about that. I loved being able to see where the crowd was, or how many people were in some custom maps. Sometimes I'd see an RP's custom map was very full, and it'd prompt me to join it. It's a good way to advertise.

I used to love this feature! 'Twas always good to see who was on in m'roleplay by looking f'er m'maps, not to mention being able to see what sort of audience was waiting at the main maps f'er advertising like the floofs above 'ave mentioned.

Tmw you planned a ten minute nap but instead took a whole year.

I hope they add this back in, because it was fairly helpful to the community.

Moving this to The Inputbox as it seems the question has been answered and the thread is more of a forum suggestion/idea overall.

Until then, we'll just have to spam advertising in the grounds. We probably will even when it comes back though. XD
