...what does a person have to have done, or be doing, to appear in it?

There seems to be a lot of names there, with very few people posting....

Everyone knows that the 'chat' site of Freeola refers to chat/cheats etc. i.e. all the fun stuff rather than ADSL and Domains!


Keep up :¬P

Fair enough, I was just responding to the above quote.

We're talking about GAD profiles here, so only GAD pages are of relevance. Visiting the front page of cheats/walkthroughs wont register you but viewing individual cheats/walkthroughs does.

I think it's less than 24 hours, because last night it didnt list any of the staffies (I like to keep an eye out for them) that were online earlier in the day. Might be 6 to 12 hours I think.

It only shows people from the 'chat' forums - if you are logging in but only visit non-chat Freeola pages you don't get listed.

Yeah what Garin said

Encourages people to post, "hey look all these people online that can read it" when.. they're not at all and "wow it's busy" but that kinda gets a bit concerning when you come here and nobody's posted for hours

...because it makes it look like the place is busy.

I believe that one of the staff previously said that its indicative of people across the freeola site too not just forum viewers.
