The script will run 1 query per user. Meaning if you have 20 users in the usergroup(s) you have chosen the script will have 20 queries.
By default the template edit shows postbit, however you can add userfields to any template you desire you simply need to change the $post variable to whatever (Member Info template would be $userinfo etc..).

My pleasure, I will be releasing more "Bungie.net" related mods shortly

Nice job on this mod! I just think H3 is getting a lil "dated"...more and more people are not playing it anymore; or at least on a regular basis.

Did you make the mod that you have on that site "Who's on XBL?"? That seems pretty cool...maybe a little server intensive? Either way, it's a pretty sick feature.

I realize Halo3 might be a bit "dated" to the less hard core crowd. ODST should resolve that soon enough

Yes the Who's on XBL is also a custom mod. The issue there doesn't lay with queries but with the XBL Presence Stream we use. The stream isn't all to stable and my fear is that releasing such a mod would only cause more instability.

Maybe in the future though
