Can someone explain to me how to play online in dark souls?

I get summoned a ton but I want to know how to get people summoned to my world. I don't really understand how the online of dark souls works, it seems to be built into the single player mode somehow.

Leave a summon sign down the white soapstone you got from Solaire

The summoning stone has never done anything for me.

Are you playing in offline or online mode? You should be able to put it down

When you place it down you need to wait a while for another undead to find your summon sign (usually 5-10 mins, but it can go way over an hour for the more obscure areas).

I'm at the entrance of dark root forest where the you need the crest to open the door. I'm sure there's plenty of people who pass through there seeing as that seems to be the place I spawn for all of the battles. I dunno if there's actually anywhere else in the game where you can spawn. I hear that the online in the first dark souls game is actually pretty dead. I am curious to know what it's supposed to be like and what it's like in the other games.

You're on PC, right? The only lively DS1 community is on the 360. Still pretty active. PS3 is a desolate wasteland. I'm pretty sure PC has the same issue.

My experience with DS2 was pretty much the same as DS1, but that's because I played it on the 360.

The online in Dark Souls 2 is pretty active, most of the PvP I see in DS1 is in Darkroot Forest or Anor Londo

THAT FUCKING NIGGER! THEY KILL YOU WITH ONE HIT OF PYROMANCY! I swear to fucking god I hate how all these overpowered people summon me and when I don't even stand a chance against them.
