Simple Activity Monitor - For Educational Purposes only.

This Soapi.JS script, if abused is likely to provoke frowns from those whom you would like to see smiles.

Note: the dataset is only valid if the entire user base is pulled, and on just about any other site there are far too many users for the execution to be even remotely considered trivial or useful.

So - bottom line is: you could have figured it out yourself, so no harm in me posting it.


OOPS Busted abusing the API!!!

 Dont try this on stack overflow or really any other site with more than a couple thousand users. Really
