The graph images are now directly in the first post for easy checking; just click the thread title in the thread index to check.

Nice.

Can I link to Active and the VAPG? Do you mind If I "encapsulate" them?

Sure, link away. Encapsulate Active? Crazy. Go ahead. Encapsulating VAPG is fine too especially because it has my silly copyright. It shouldn't be copyright... I've been planning on changing it to 'Generated by FiReMaGe.' By the way, I would appreciate credit in the case that my name is blocked off somehow. I would also like to know where you're containing these.

i found a bug in /msg irc active

it told the number of players and all but at the end it did "32 seconds(s) ago", instead it should have done "32 second(s) ago"

The command active has the purpose of giving the amount of players active, not how long ago the graph was updated. The age of the numbers is given for further insight of how the bot is functioning.

While we're talking about the bot, the following command will list all the players online and the active count:
/msg IRC active players
Also, to receive the active count when you log on:
/buddy invite IRC
You do not need to be IRC's buddy to use its commands.

_{That bot needs a better name than a well known chat protocol.}

how about "Hand" so you can tell people to talk to the Hand in-game.

Hehe. Or it could be My Face.
"--> You have joined #vrelay
-vo- You have no charaters associated with your IRC username. Why don't you log in VO and say 'register <IRC username>' to My Face."

I was thinking *R might be appropriate.

[100] <LeberMac> Yarrr!
[100] *R <FiReMaGe> hey leber
[100] <LeberMac> what happened to IRC?
[100] *R <IRC> I'm still here.

_{1337th post in Community Projects ... that was unexpected.}

firemage is leet! woooo!

I'm sorry about the adrupt stop of the graph. The server it runs on appears to be offline. Hopefully the server will be back up soon.

Edit: The graph is now updating again. Luckily I had it keep data while not making graphs so the gap isn't very apparent. It's noticable that the font isn't as bold as before; I will try to handle that some time.

Edit MkII: Active is now working again too.

i actually just thought of this. what if in addition to all the things it graphs, if it graphed how many people logged on/off in a 5 minute period. So for each person it would increase by 1. that'd be pretty cool imo.

So is this Graph dead or still working? What is the link?

or you could just look at the first post in this thread

Hey FiReMaGe, what are the chances of a longer term graph? Like 6 months maybe? I'm looking at the current month one, and while it seems to me that peaking above 60 regularly once a week is an improvement over how things were when I left, it might be nice for people who've been out of game for a while to have a more.... expanded view of things?

Hey Fo. Sorry for this delayed response.

Yeah, I always did want an expanded view. Those are my plans... but unfortunately, just plans. Maybe I'll do something about it tomorrow.

On another note, the graph is messed up for today and tomorrow. Sorry about that too.
Edit2: Fixed it a bit, just a bunch of breaks instead of huge emptiness now.

Edit: Oh, and about who? me?'s idea. That's interesting, I might also have something like that in the future.

Edit3 on Aug 30, 2007: Another break because of my ISP.

Here is a simple archive:
systinus.com/vo/graph/archive/

You'll notice some of the earlier months lack many days. That's as far back as my data goes. Currently, this archive does not automatically update.

Thanks, hope to see you game side.

These haven't been displaying properly...

Would you please start archiving/rehost the archive? I've been really interested in the graphing results...

Firemage? Would you please remove the link to vo-gate from the first page of this thread? Looks like it was stolen by domain parkers and makes me very sad =(

There are no links to vo-gate... Systinus had some problems though, but it should be okay in a day or two.

Edit: Oh, you mean that blob thing. Will do.
Edit 2: Changed the link again in case there are blob fans.
