Is it really a good idea to list everyone who is online?

Currently the massive list of people on the "What's new" page is horribly unneccessary.

While the feature works when the connumity is only a few dozen members, listing (currently) hundreds of names, potentially thousands in the future, just because they're online seems awfully redundant.  What use is the information meant to be layed out like that?  All it does is elongate the page and ends up causing more uneccessary queries levelled at the server.  Mearly having a list of your friends who are online, or group members would be enough, and maybe a general statistic listing actual numbers of present people rather than every individuals name would be enough, perhaps with a seperate page listing members who are online or not.

No, but we didn't run into that problem during testing. :) A fix is already on the way for it, to trim the list to a sane number.

We've deployed a fix for this - the list now crops to 20 randomly selected users rather than getting gigantic.
