New web page continuously publishes online player names

[bbosen]

Because the LAC community is small, it has always been challenging to find other online players, especially when you consider the large number of available online missions.

To help with this, we have just activated a new web page, updated about every 60 seconds, that publishes the server's list of recent online activity including the online names of active players and the missions in which they are flying. Here's a direct link:

You can always find that page from a prominent link on our popular "LAC Online Docs" page here:

This subject is also discussed in LAC FAQ #55 ("How can I learn which missions have active players without using Mumble?") through our "LacFAQ" page here:

Unfortunately, the free service at piping.glitch.me that we were using to host this service is no longer available. Accordingly, our web page that had been publishing the names of online LAC players is no longer available and we're not sure when we'll ever get it back. In the meantime, players can use any of the other facilities (also described in these forums) to find online allies and/or opponents.
