I'd love to see a game summary tab in the command center showing how old the games are, how many players are in the game, and when the last time a player was active in them (somehow weeding out the crawlers from other sites)

Also perhaps a trigger that is in game, kinda a "ring the bell" type of feature that would send the sysop a message (either a pop up, or an email) requesting a re-bang.

When you saw crawlers is that in reference to Micro's Crawler that goes around looking up game stats and posting them to his website?

exactly what I was referring to. These would make a game look active if you're simply looking for game logins. So you need some way to tell the difference.

that would be very useful. An easy way to tell when the game needs to be rebanged... i like it

JP would just have to ignore the username "Microbot" for mine, and "daryl" for EleqTriziT bot.

On version 2.08+ Microbot doesn't actually enter any games thanks to the new XML settings dump.

Daryl might enter the game but I think it only goes as far as the Game Menu

I'm not sure exactly how each bot works, or how it would affect the summary screen depending on how things were set up, but for future versatility, mabye a customizable list of excludes for future bots that may come along.
