Shows people as online/playing, whilst they're not.
This is starting to really annoy me.

On TF2outpost, their avatar borders are either blue or green, but when you go to their profile most of them have been offline for over 10 hours.

This is a problem with the Steam API, the site is limited to the amont of times it can check users profiles a day. So it's basically impossible to get real time info on user accounts. Just check their profiles and act accordingly.

I've been away from outpost for a while and this really wasn't a problem a few months ago.
Did gabe decide to downgrade the servers or what happened there?

According to https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/tf2outpost/discussions/0/618457398962081568/#c618457398962081468

Its been like this for a while, the info is cached every 20 minutes or so.

That's really odd because I really am seeing people that have been offline for over 10 hours, even 19 hours just now. So it wouldn't make any sense that it's gathering the information every 20 minutes.
