 * Whenever RR comes on he just edits his page to show that he's on. All he does is edit the page and changes the word "offline" to the word "online". The little wheel thing is a animated gif on wikia commons http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif .  If you want to use it just enter the following code link:

 * It's a template you make and then use. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 10:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * RR uses a template but you don't have to have one. Just have the word "online" at the top of your page and edit it to "offline" just before you sign off.  That's basically all RR does -- Esemono 21:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

There has to be a way to do that automatically -- TheObviousOne 12:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, there could be, but I doubt it would work on Wikia, and it would basically just say you're online for the five minutes after you load a page. Then it goes to offline, even if you're still viewing something or whatever. That's what phpBB does, but it would take a lot of editing of the MySQL database (adding a column to at least one of the tables), editing the actual index.php and other PHP files, and stuff like that, which you just can't do here. If I get the time sometime over the summer, I might work on that and submit it to Mediawiki, but you'd have to wait until Wikia updates again, and stuff like that. Easiest to just do it manually.

 * Yeah, but that could get pretty complicated. If you think its a good idea, though, feel free to submit the idea to them. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 01:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
