"Recent Artists"?

celtaidd	Date: February 15, 2009 @ 6:59 PM Why have "they" changed it from "Artists Online"? I work weird hours, so I dont know iof I'm coming or going! Change it back!
evansorchid	Date: February 15, 2009 @ 8:05 PM I think it's a ploy so that any new users to this site think this is hip and happening place to hang out. They check out the list of all the 'recent artists' and think...wow, just look at all these people.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: February 15, 2009 @ 8:46 PM yes, when in actual fact, there are probably 0-3 users actually online at that given moment ...
GeneHilbert	Date: February 16, 2009 @ 1:29 AM LOL - I have actually checked to see the accuracy of "Artists Online" and although not at 100% - there were more on than I expected.
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 16, 2009 @ 8:28 AM I think it's artists that have been on during the day, it's like online artists but slightly altered to include artists who have been online during a set time... It does make the place appear more active (and that's the intention I believe) but a check on the interact and who's online page will tell you who is active at that given time (which we know already). Gary, those long shifts are a killer, mate... They'd drive me to drink too (had mine not given me just an hour before going to bed in time for the next bloody shift)
zedsalt	Date: February 16, 2009 @ 9:48 AM Maybe it's an attempt at a truth-in-advertising sort of thing. There are always folks on that list who have logged off. "Here or perhaps very recently logged off" would make for a clunky header. Of course, "recent artists" is pretty clunky, conceptually... The whole timing thing is wierd, anyway. I just did one of those deals where you read the new threads in a post, take a minute (something less than too, anyway) and post a response, and there's a new post between yours and the last one you read...you know what I mean, right? And on the Community page, it has those two posts listed as 12 minutes apart! Not an issue, really, for me. It's just the sort of thing I've come to expect now that so much of the planet can commmunicate almost instantaneously.
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 16, 2009 @ 11:23 AM I've been beaten to a forum posting by seconds before, Zed. You can always tell though if you're the only one about to by checking the online page (unless it's an admin posting there) otherwise it's first come, first served (or posted in this case). Annoying but a downside of forums in any multi-user environment.

TameasDust	Date: February 16, 2009 @ 8:56 PM cool there is an emot for that ... just guessed
zedsalt	Date: February 17, 2009 @ 9:54 AM It wasn't the fact that something popped up while I was typing; that happens all the time. It was the twelve minute disparity on the Community page that caught my attention. Of course, that probably happens all the time, too; it's just that that was the first time I noticed.
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 17, 2009 @ 10:11 AM Time is a strange variable here...
leflaw	Date: February 17, 2009 @ 12:01 PM Like Einstein said... its relative!
TameasDust	Date: February 17, 2009 @ 5:18 PM I tolerate this century but I don't enjoy it. Dr Who

Ah, I see... ...y'know, though, when the machines start configuring themselves to perceptual time, event-based measure of time, etc,. that's a little scary. I think I'll stick to the "the sort of thing I've come to expect now that so much of the planet can commmunicate almost instantaneously" explanation for the sake of personal comfort. One thing the list is spot-on about, though- I have indeed recently committed flagrant acts of Art.
