Quoting: ShabbyXIf you allow one to stay logged in for a long time, with the usual "Remember Me" checkbox or something (checkbox disable by default), that would definitely increase my activity here.

We do have that already, it's how I and most likely most people stay logged in here. Steam login is an extra.

Time until drop-off to be worked out yet

Of course people have to ask and dig into comments to understand how things are working. Doublespeak as politician.

So I forgot to include that, it was a mistake. There is simply no need to give me attitude like this, seriously, chill out and stop being an ass.

Quoting: liamdaweObviously, this is why data from people who haven't updated their profiles in a while won't be included.

Quoting: liamdaweThere is no info on that, as this has not been implemented yet. It's as simple as that.

That's remind me Steam statistics. Make things blurrier as possible.

Why don't you just say that right now every users even zombie ones are counted and you don't know how to deal with them? it's simple, fast, comprehensive, factual and there is no shame in it.

Edit: And to be clear, I do very well know how to deal with them and it's easy since we store the last date someone updated their information.

I don't get the attitude from you here, this is a bit of fun and a distraction for me away from posting articles all the time.

Any info?

The only info available is this:

This is currently in BETA. There are 5188 registered users on GamingOnLinux. These statistics are gathered using their manually entered data on their profiles. Please update your profile here to make this as accurate as possible.

How do I know if my account is updated? How much time will it keep counted as updated? I didn't change anything for many many months, do I need to hit the "Update" button or just keep login here from time to time is enough?

Make things clearer as possible. Publish sources as AGPL.

How long are we talking here and is there some kind of way to tell it "no, I haven't update my profile because nothing has changed"? Not everyone changes something every few months; some of us like to find a set-up that works and leave it alone.

Time until drop-off to be worked out yet, it will be as easy as hitting update while changing nothing to just keep you in the system if nothing has changed :)

Also, remember guys, this isn't supposed to be some hard-hitting survey, this is for-fun to give an approximation. No matter how we do it, it's not going to be 100% accurate.

Edit: Spelling.

Our user survey is now done automatically from your profiles every month. On the 1st of December a fresh lot was generated.

This isn't a good idea. A survey forces new data out of users. Polling profile info is going to gather a lot of outdated, stagnant data from people who don't keep their profiles current or don't frequently visit the site. It doesn't matter how much you remind people to update.. there will be plenty who won't and it's going to affect the results.

I really think you should keep doing your normal surveys if you actually care about the results.

Obviously, this is why data from people who haven't updated their profiles in a while won't be included.

Quoting: cxphergmailcomIs it just me? Anyone noticed that the form link is not available from the Steam post?

You need to read what they said about the link.

Quoting: slaapliedjeUnfortunately there is a plethora of those Anime style 'dating sim' games...

This is a proper JRPG, it has nothing to do with dating sims or visual novels.

Quoting: TakThe OpenGL core backend (available today) supports tessellation, compute, and instancing.

I wonder what the developer means then if the features they need are already available?

Quoting: buschapThey aren't trying to shut the project down. They are trying to protect their trademarks. This is compulsory under US trademark law. If you do not protect your trademarks, and other people use them in an unconnected and unauthorized fashion, your trademark can become a generic term.

They are not demanding he take the site and project down. They are demanding he remove their trademarks.

That effectively shuts it down. The entire project is entirely based around Doom as a fan project.
