Unfortunately not of the Kounrikova variety, but still sort of fun to look at.

HOWEVER. I was wondering when the counter actually started. Its just that I have over 100 posts in the last 30 days (of which 21 of those were days that I didn`t touch a PC) and 1000 ish in all time. This seemed strange as I had managed topost a tenth of my all time posts (spanning 5 months or more) in only 9 (ish) days.

SO. I think that the all time thingy must only be a recent thing.Perhaps starting in January or something.I really don`t know. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Ah thanks! I had Shedao and ssxpro seperately.


However, that means that my original question is still a mystery to me. How did I post a tenth of my messages in the last 30 days when I`ve been here 5 months or more, and in the last thirty days I`ve barely been able to post at all.

Well, never mind. It doesn`t matter in the long term. 1000 ish sounds about right for the all time bit, and the last thirty days will only be different for about 30 days!

Yeah, you keep your posts, unless you actually signed up again, not edited your details!

An explanation.

So does that mean that when I created that other name Shedao Shai, which could run side by side with ssxpro, I deleted all the messages bofore that?

If it doesn`t, then I am still confused!

I had to create a new account with SHEEPY in December so all my posts from September to them don't count I guess!

I was sure I had paosted much more than that said!

The All Time Top 50 is based on all of the messages in our database. There are currently just over 86600 messages which span back over a year.

However, we DO NOT work it out on your nickname. Each user has an ID (which you don't get to see) and you can change the nickname on that ID whenever you wish. If at any time you have created a new account then you will have had a different ID.

The Top 50 shows your CURRENT NICKNAME but takes into account any other messages posted on the same registration (regardless of what the name was).

I think that makes sense!
