Want to do some scale testing if possible, see what kind of performance hit this may make server side.

This is a Live Signature or Banner PNG, with Player Counts. So far two varieties, see the links below.

If it does make a huge performance drop, I may pull it, but I will do so gracefully, so anyone willing to help and throw it up as part of their signature won't be left in the dust if I do pull it, it will just down grade into a static image giving time for anyone to pull it from their signature settings if they so choose.

I know someone may ask, "Why are they different %", lol, so I will answer before it is asked, it's not an error, it's a difference in cache delay. The B&S Logo is being considered for use on the B&S site, and is setup with a 15 minute delay. The other larger v^3 designed signature is set up for 5 minute cache delay. So in the difference, they can actually pull different numbers at the time of cache.

Oh, are you no longer using my site?

Nice work though, looking good.

Looks cool. So it's for anyone's signature? I might use it.

rakiru, I was having some trouble with your data source, it was returning false 0s, which I'm guessing your weeding out from your graphs, but since I had it setup just to pull the most recent it was causing the image to break. I meant no offence by switching it over, pwease don't be mad at me :D

yeah the more that use it, the better idea I will get of how it affects server performance. Going to try and get something setup to benchmark it a bit

Added it and made it link to rakirus playercount graph.

Ok, I am currently using one as my signature so hopefully a lot of people will use it! :D

Heh, no offence taken, I was just curious. Yeah, the 0 happens when there's a problem grabbing the data (it should be -1, but apparently not). I've been meaning to look into that, but it doesn't matter for the graph as it's only a single point.

Here's a cool , B&S Logo Version, with the Logo text being the progress meter, an idea from TB!
