Really is ok to not fly online.

So I'm new here and I always flew from where i last landed so i really am enjoying this and so this may sound dumb, but I really don't have to fly online? I was looking at some stats and i see a Commander with 0 online flights is this accurate?

Though we encourage flying online and it is a fun learning experience, we do not require our pilots to fly online. The only time online flying would be required is if you wanted to participate in one of our Group Fly-In (GFI) events. Online flying allows you to see and communicate with the other participants.

Enjoy whichever mode of flying you prefer.

Ted is correct, and you are correct.
Our VA is unique in we do not require one to "fly online".
It is probably me you saw with 0 online hours. I gave it up some time ago for various reasons.

The adage is, "In you we trust", to be honest with your reports.

Thanks
