Code:
mob/proc
    Update_Online()
        winset(src, "Online", "cells=0x0")
        src<<output("There are [Online] QChatters on.","Online")

mob/Login()
    set background = 1
    if(src.key in Admins)
        src.verbs += typesof(/mob/Admin/verb)
    world << "[Bot] : [src.key] has Joined Qubic Chat..."
    src << "[Bot] : Welcome to Qubic Chat founded by Qubic."
    Clients+=src
    Online+=1
    for(var/mob/M in world)
        M.Update_Who()
        M.Update_Online()
    winset(client,"Namecolor","background=[namecolor]")
    winset(client,"Textcolor","background=[textcolor]")
    winset(client,"Namecolor","text=[namecolor]")
    winset(client,"Textcolor","text=[textcolor]")
    while(1)
        AAfk()
    ..()


mob/Logout()
    world << "[Bot] : [src.key] has Left Qubic Chat..."
    Online-=1
    Clients-=src
    for(var/mob/M in world)
        M.Update_Who()
        M.Update_Online()
    ..()

var
    Online = 0


Problem description:

With no cells to output to, nothing will show up.

If you're trying to clear the grid, just output null to it.
Is your grid a flexible list of entries?

Yes it is.

winset(src, "Online", "cells=0x0")
src<<output("There are [Online] QChatters on.","Online")

There's the problem. The grid has a total of 0 cells so it won't display anything. Try 1x1. Also you didn't specify which cell to output to.

Try:

winset(src, "Online", "cells=1x1")
src<<output("There are [Online] QChatters on.","Online:1x1")

You should most likely use client/New and client/Del() if you're making a Chatting type game...
Try this:
proc
    Update()
        var/online = 0
        for(var/client/C)
            online ++
        for(var/client/M)
            winset(M,"Online","1x1")
            M<<output("There are [Online] QChatters on.","Online:1x1")
client
    New()
        Update()
        ..()
    Del()
        Update()
        ..()

That's because everyone is using the wrong syntax.

Instead of the x, it should be a comma in output:
Ref << output("Hi","Hello:1,1")


(the skin reference mentions this format under Grids and Info, above Mouse actions and drop-zones)

Online:1x1

That x.

If you're trying to show people how many users are online, then use a label and do a count then set it's text param to it, why get dirty with grids?

Ah, that worked, Thanks.
