When is the buddy list going to be available?

Why didn't you do this in the first place?

That'll be included in v4 of RTB which has no release date yet.

The needs of RTB v2 were just for a downloads system so there was no point developing an entire website when it would be relatively easy to build a phpBB plugin for it. The needs of RTB have evolved since then and it's no longer workable to have all the different functionality we offer centered around the forums.

Doesn't that kind of system exist already? Players online that is...

To determine a servers activity, the easiest way is to see how many players are online. If there's a lot of players, then there's a high activity, and vice versa.
Ephialtes:
Server activity as I define it is comprised of more than just the number of players on it. I won't go into detail on how I'd be calculating server ratings for obvious reasons.
