Last Seen/Last Time Logged In For Profiles

(Apologies if something like this has been posted before. I looked through the lists and couldn't see anything about it.) Greetings! For the past week and a half or so, I've been looking through the Player Database looking for individuals to invite to a game. Posting to the Looking for Group section or on the forums for people can occasionally become a bit of a mire with the number of people who want in, so I took to the database to invite individuals who sounded like they might be interesting to have aboard. I ran into a small problem, though, in that just in the D&D 3.5 section, there was over 10,000 names, none of whom I was able to tell if they were active or not. It ended up being a bit of a crap shoot and has been a little frustrating. So, it seems like it could be an overall benefit to those who are looking for individuals for games to be able to have a 'Last Logged In' on people's profiles to be able to tell who is still active and who logged into the site, only to never be seen again. I mean, it couldn't hurt to have this small resource to tell who is around and who is not. Thoughts?

I'll necro this to say I agree.  I used to GM a ton about four years ago, but I've been away, being a family man.  I just recently decided to log back in and see if any of my old players were still around.  If I wanted to run a game, I can search the LFG boards, but if I see an interesting profile like: "Member Since: 2014 | Hours Played: 322 | Actively looking for a D&D campaign", how am I supposed to know that he wrote that bio two years ago and then dropped off of the planet?

As long as there's an "opt-out" for not allowing people to see if you're logged in/when you were last logged in, I'd support this idea.
It's about 2 months since the last post, but I want to say that I too support this.

I'd prefer it the other way around, it should be opt-in.  This sort of system can be used to stalk people, so it should be something people have to activate themselves, rather than it being activated for them without their knowledge.
