vyk, as much as i respect you that plan sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare! one thing we can do is go over everyone on the list and see when the last time they were on Live was, according to Xbox.com. anyone with more than three months of inactivity goes. of course this will take a lot of time and what's to say people don't just log on to Xbox.com once in a blue moon, does that qualify them as active gamers?

i still say leave it be. the competition won't stagnate, not in the short term, and in the longer term people will probably leave anyway...we already had the numbers go down before, then go up again. besides, we should be happy that there are 250 of us.

we can also call for volunteers...people not so keen to stay on the board may be willing to step up.

I wish more members would express an opinion on the matter. I guess most of those on the leaderboard don't really pay much attention to this thread (yeah, I know I don't sometimes!) and those that want to get on aren't really that bothered about it. Meh I say! :p

that's the sad state of the world my friend, not just here. but don't take it too hard, just cause they're not posting doesn't mean they don't care. each and every word here is carefully scrutinized by a cadre of lurkers to rival anything the armies of humanity have ever fielded.

as a compromise we may consider anyone with more than 3 months of inactivity for dismissal...however, this would also include my friend Shotta i suspect...and i can't allow that. let's go for a voluntary format?

Going for a voluntary format would mean that the people who would leave the leaderboard know that the leaderboard is satured and care enough to leave their place: typically not us who are constantly posting in the thread.

I prefer the 3 months threshold and the policy must be applied regardless of nationality/rankings/friendship. Harsh but fair

You don't get to fly the Hind, Neo by the way ;)

(End of supra-obscure reference to Battlefield Bad company).

How about a required minimum of 1000 points to be on the board?

Not fair for the people who had a 360 just for Christmas.

no points minimum, it would be very offputting to many. inactivity is the only fair constant, but we don't even know how to determine inactivity. is it logging in or the last achievement attained? the latter would be very time consuming to find out.

and Vyk, not sure i get the Bad Company reference! What does it mean? Are you saying i'm Sweetwater, i shoot my mouth too much? Why you...

then it's pretty meaningless to say three months or whatever. anyone can log in to xbox.com. we're back at square one. i say leave it be.

Anyone can do this, but that's not the same as playing a game, but I see no good solution either way.

We can use the leaderboard capabilities for that. If you go to the leaderboard website and click on the avatar and not the gamertag), you have the last activity of the gamer. For example, for me, Gears of War 2 Last Played on Monday, February 09, 2009 23:02:32 .

Yup, that's me!

This way, we can check the inactivity of members

and Vyk, not sure i get the Bad Company reference! What does it mean? Are you saying i'm Sweetwater, i shoot my mouth too much? Why you...

No, that was the dictator who is left on the small island before the last mission. He says "harsh but fair"

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
