Is it possible for the forum to only show registered users and online only to those who are registered and online? That is, if I navigate the forum without logging in, I should only see that there are registered X users browsing, they are not who they are.

"Everything is possible, though some things cost more."

It's far from immediately apparent to me that it'd be an advantage to anyone, although I must admit that I don't really see much advantage in the having of that information either. But a quick glance at a couple of other forums suggests that the common practice is to tell who are logged on to everyone.
Perhaps you have a compelling reason for us to be different?

It was just a question, not a suggestion I know it's possible to do it, but I'm going on using the forum, regardless of it is changed or not.

Anyway, Devuan might not exist, it would only have been necessary to use systemd in the system of your choice. I have also seen many forums, in which they speak of its goodness .
