I just did hit a rank up....and it only prevented me from falling behind, and helped me stay in the stalemate. Sucks for me doesn't it?
That is teh impossible. Here are the VP amounts of #500 for the last 7 updates:
7.21
7.22
7.24
7.25
7.26
7.26
7.27
As you can see, each week the bottom of the list rises by either 0.00, 0.01, or 0.02... there is NO way that if you are depositing every day, that you aren't outpacing that rise by EXP ALONE. And a rankup? Last time I checked, rankups tend to give you at least 0.10 VP. 0.10 VP > 5 weeks of the natural rise of the #500 spot.
IOW, I think this "not gaining on the list" thing is in your head, man. Unless, that is, you're not depositing every day. And if you're not depositing every day, then I can't help ya. O_o
So cruuuuuel! ;_;
Hehe, ignore Bonus, he's still mad about what I did to him last night. *Dangles aim convo over Bonus' head and laughs.* >=D
What exactly happened during this AIM convo? O_o

Hahaha! It finally got to you eh? I was wondering if it was going to get a comment out of someone. I really have no good reason for it, it's just something I felt like doing once and then... kept doing. Besides, if you don't want people calling you gfoxcook, why have it as your alias?
I dunno if I'd describe it as "getting to me." O_o I also don't know why you say "finally." I just noticed the one time. Had you been intentionally saying "gfoxcook" while responding to me for the past month or something? O_O
Anyway, the way you used my full username just seemed awkward, or like this was the second time you'd ever posted in my thread or something. Since you is teh MrJames and not some noob, I called attention to it. #;-}>
It's my alias because it's been my alias since 1994. Everyone has nicknames. When you were MrJames, we'd call you James now and them, wouldn't we? The great thing about a name is that you can shorten it. Usually. #;-}>
I don't see how you could prefer gfoxorgorfoxyfoxorjustcallmegreg though. : /

Getting smart with me, EH!?!
As for your magical-mystery-tour of #100
Tour? I see no tour in sticking to one spot. Easy on the silly pills.
Well, it's a long strange trip.
Argh, now I'm mixing my Beatles metaphors with my Grateful Dead metaphors. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!
:::goes to find more silly pills:::
it IS quite remarkable that you've held that spot for three straight updates now. You're right in thinking it won't be much longer...
4 updates would be nice. A month at #100...
Well, you can hope-a-hope-a-hope-a-hope that IKRU doesn't rankup, but I wouldn't hold me breath.
/me sends a letter to Santa
It's a bit early for him to respond by giving you what you want, isn't it? I don't think Santa does early X-mas gifts. ;_;
Hmm, I dunno. My attitude then was pretty much "Phew, I'm finally here... now what?" I think what must have got me down was the seemingly zero chance of progressing the list and as such an inevitable fall. Being able to foresee the future might have brightened the day, but it could have dimmed it as well. If I had've seen a fall next week (next week as in 4 updates from then, not the next list) my rank up to #100 would have seemed pointless.
Well, the way you were talking when you finally made it, it sounded like you expected to be knocked off within the week. And that didn't happen, so there ya go! Oh come on, it's not pointless if it's a peak you have to fall down a bit from... I just hit #18, and I'm likely to backslide to 19th and maybe even 20th soon when I get passed by staphita and/or UND, but I DID HIT 18, yanno.
Back in the days of popularity, most people bragged about the peak rank they hit, not necessarily their CURRENT rank, because those things were fluid... you didn't climb and climb and climb like you do with exp and b/p. VP is kinda in between... it's steadier than popularity ever was... but backsliding IS possible while climbing as fast as you can (whereas it isn't with exp and b/p IF you're doing that (depositing every day/getting a reasonable amount of b/ppd).
So anyway, I'm just trying to say that I think it was cool you hit #100 on the charts for 3 straight weeks, even if you DO fall off. Besides, if you DO fall off, you can always make it back on. Rankup would help, though. #;-}>

Hee hee!
Heh, naw, I don't mess with my stats. Takes the fun out of it when you start cheating.
Fudging, man. Fudging. Let's not call it cheating. :::hides evidence of cheating:::
No need to worry about profile ID# tiebreakers any longer, you be on your way to safety, as long as a dozen rankups don't happen between now and next weekend.
Actually, I'm looking forward to a rankup of my own in the next few days. I am sooooooo close...
Then it's official... you're set. Even if somehow you were passed before then, we wouldn't know unless we checked all the people around you in the meantime. You're movin' on up even further on next Saturday's update! Woot woot.
Although on the next update, profile ID# breaks will be very rare, since I'll be sorting by my own 4-decimal computed numbers.
I was wondering how long it'd be till you decided to go ahead and run the list based on exp and b/p rank data. Heh. I'm all for increased accuracy whenever feasable, so... woo hoo! #;-}>
