Last online function

Hi! I am part of a game that has immensely enjoyed having multiple GMs and more than 100 players have enjoyed the campaign.  We would very much like to have some way of knowing when people last joined the campaign so we can remove inactive players to make room for more active ones (We are against falsely advertising our campaign as having more people than we actually have, thus not wanting inactives) If it is difficult to make it work per campaign, then a last online on the roll20 profiles would work as well! Thanks for a great platform to game on! Markus

API Scripter
Great idea, would also help identify who tends to log in during downtime too (useful for knowing if you need a splash page or simply nice to see who cares enough to want to be there even when the game isn't running ;) ). In the meantime, as a pro user, I would recommend the following  Simple Join/Part Greeter script by DXWarlock which is great for the above as well as helping identify when someone has dropped out during play (due to internet issues etc) even when their avatar is still there. With that script installed you can easily use the chat archive to see when someone last logged in (especially now that the API is a lot more reliable without the GM having to be present to restart it all of the time!). The suggestion is solid though so the workaround should just be considered a stop gap until the dream is realised ;)
Very nice suggestion Ziechael Unfortunately I think that thing would clutter down our game a lot since we can have up to 20 people spectating a game with 8 people playing in it, so for a more lightweight campaign that would be really good, but not for us. :( But yeah, this feels like a simple thing to add to roll20 but I have no clue about how it's coded so maybe it is more difficult than it sounds... :)
As it has seemed out GM has become inactive while playing a Pathfinder Adventure Path, we have no means to communicate with him except via Roll20. It is critical to know when he was last online as it helps players and DGMs know if a person has at least been around to see any notifications listed with the Pink Envelope. This also helps in thwarting, "I never got it," problem as well, I've seen many players saying they never got the notification, knowing when they where last online - even better if it has more than just one entry - means we know that this person isn't being honest.
