Just as an FYI to everyone, I updated my original graph posted, post #26. It's now 100% live, fully updating image that shows historical active forum members and does a simple 1-year prediction (regression) and a "time to live," or time to 0, calculation when such a solution exists. If you think...

I wouldn't discourage free participation, only un-informed free participation would be what I wish to discourage. Semantics aside, I only didn't tackle the issues you addressed here because it would require citing BrutalWhimsy and other so called ex-Red5 employees, which opens a whole new can...

WARNING: Below is opinion because I was asked, I do not intend to defend this because its my opinion. 99% of it is from the fact that I am capitalist at heart and I believe with all my heart that customers are the king, not the provider(s). This is not true here. People here, in general, are so...

I considered polling the array of usernames -- that's not unique viewers, but it would help with identifying duplicates. I'm ok if the same people are active and double-counted, though -- I think that's fine for this purpose.

First, I want to make this insanely clear for any moderators. I read the forum rules and personal attacks are not allowed. I absolutely did not attack Mark, the man. In all my posts and in all cases possible, I referred to his position as the Ember CEO. It is the position that I am referring to...

If I had access to unique visitor data, I would certainly share it. Perhaps a thread to Mr. Kern requesting this is in order?

Tell me what I have to do to prove I'm not a shill. I would suggest some things, but, you could make the argument that I pre-arranged the proof, so, you tell me. Something that's possible for anyone who isn't a shill to do, but random in that I couldn't have prepped for it ahead of time. I will...

lol -- true.

I'm not sure how member data is ill-suited for an MMO. Can you clarify this for me? Also, I acknowledge that the counter argument is absolutely a valid possibility, that's given to the nature of any statistical method irregardless or how or when its used. How's that the same as saying its...

Within any data interpretation, there is always a human "leap" that has to occur. This sort of data is statistical, meaning it cannot on its own imply causation. This is where the human "leap" is needed. To conclude anything from a statistical sample, a human being is needed to look at the data...

You are correct, I believe it is concurrent. Simply put, on the forum home page, it gives the number of people currently online, it is simply a record of that number over time, however they generate it. I, too, gave much consideration to the points you mentioned. The data for me is not...

I absolutely want attention, but ... not from you. You've made your decision, and as I stated before, I respect that. I am looking for attention from the hundreds of people coming here every day wanting to know if Ember is something worth getting invested in -- in my opinion, no. To deny me the...

Respectfully, you guys (plural) miss understand the objections entirely. You're looking at the surface only. At this early stage, I am interested in things much, much deeper. I am aware of spam filters, I am aware of the option to opt-out of PM emails. I am aware that had I predicted the use of...

With this above, a total sanction of the action taken by the Ember CEO, I'm out. Good luck, Ember. I wish you the best. Mr. Kern, for your records, please subtract one from the Change.org support signatures. Thank you.

Thank you for the correction. I am glad no personal information was leaked. I think the assumption that nobody got hurt can be said of many spammers -- its in general a victomless "crime" to spam, at least for those not sending malicious code. My hotmail inbox is full of junk mail that can be...

The FF database was script hacked -- from what I understand, many of those involved were banned from Firefall and are calling it a "communist China" move -- but, my view on it is that the action was against the Firefall TOS. It was done because "They thought no one was watching" ... If this is...

You make some very valid points and interesting suggestions. I agree 4bone support is not likely to happen for the MMO industry. Maybe when IPv6 becomes more available, MMOs could implement IPv6 in a "mesh P2P" fashion. So, the server wouldn't need to be the middle man for player data to/from...

The only thing that I can fault Mark for is when he brought The9 into the picture back in 2010: http://www.red5studios.com/2010/03/the9-limited-announces-acquisition-of-majority-interest-in-red-5-studios/ I certainly understand how the funds provided by The9 extended Firefall's TTL, but it also...
