Neowin.net Xbox Community Leaderboards


Recommended Posts

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.

Is it ignorance or apathy? I don?t know and I don?t care. LOL

In other news, I've moved up 4 places since yesterd:D. :D

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.

Easy to get 1000 GS..lol.

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"

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
