I know some communities like to have high-users online counts - either set at 30 minutes, or higher, to make the community look more active than it really is - but what's yours set at? Mine's set at 15 minutes because its more accurate, and better than having it at higher times. If you have it higher than 15 mintues, how has it benefited you?
15 minutes for me. Guests and Spammers are usually online more then members. So I don't want to see it doubled.
Back when I first opened my community, we were competing with other forums in my niche - they had their timer set at 30 minutes, so guess what I did? Changed mine to 30 minutes as well - and we now have the most active community in my niche - in terms of traffic and daily activity. So, what's your who's online timer set at?
