it is being tested internally in my own squad, @SysX, but i've written the app such that it can be used by any squad. after our preliminary tests are complete, i will select one or two interested parties (you must be in squad leadership of your respective squad, ie. you must have some sort of token) to continue with further tests.

pls reply below if interested, earlier responses get higher priority.

so a little about what the app does:

looks at the squad roster page
identifies all the inactives (both red and grey)
using YOUR forum name user/password
you can send a personalized PM to all those inactives identified previously
hit submit and you are done.

Can you filter the ones out that have been AFK for over a set amount of time or does it just target all inactives?

squad roster lists some in red and some in grey, depending on how long they've been inactive. you can pick to PM either or both.

Nothing really to hide, anyways.

Fwiffo -- separate question.

Have you looked into integrating some of the cool @#(! on your website onto the FAO website. I.e., the graphing status/top-10s/kph rankings?

If all the stat-type-stuff got incorporated into an app could be great for player interest/retention.

I can't really help... at all. I just think it would be awesome to see a link to a site-integrated monthly KPH/KPE lists and graphing leaderboards. I will sacrifice one voob on the altar for the FAO gods if they make this happen.

We could get someone taking an iOS class to do it (they don't even have to play Allegiance)
They make an app for their final project, might as well be this one
