ISCRULZ IS TEH QUADLIST. Nuffsaid.
MARCUS is teh e/b/s triplelisted.
Bahamut is teh b/s/p triplelisted.
IKRU is teh e/b/s triplelisted.
That's pretty good for all of them. Bahamut hasn't been around for even two years and he's advanced so far.
Yah, it was a good month to get to 1x10k, a good month to get to 2x10k, and a good month for teh status changery. Huzzah!
When you said Bahamut hasn't been around for even two years, at first I thought you meant he'd been missing around here for two years, but I take it you mean he only started stat-accumulating in 2004? I guess that shouldn't surprise me, but it seems like he's been around a bit longer than just 24 months or so.
Good looking update, all 108 of those users[haha]. You ever stop and think to scrap all those with 2k and bump up the requirements to 3k gfox? Man, about a year ago I think there was barely 40 or so, where are all of these users coming from? Oh well, they deserve it, pouring hours into this zany site. I'd like to be on it, post count highest, but the bbs isn't fun anymore. Nothing really worth posting in if you understand me. Even old members of the C&C have gone so not much there for me either.
If you scroll down to the archive section and click on the Archived Archive, you can scroll through and see a time when we almost had 200 users. But of course, that was back when it was 1x10k to join up (now we'd be nearly to 500... sheesh). When I first cut it to 2x10k+, the amount dropped from around 180 to 30. So yes... we had 40 members or so in the early days of the 2x10k pentalist. No longer!
So yeah, there was a time to switch from 1x10k min req. to 2x10k min req. Perhaps there will be a time to bump to 3x10k, but crossing into 100 members isn't quite it. While the list gets harder to update, time-wise, every month... I've stopped stressing QUITE so much about making sure I check every little last 1x10ker and so forth, so... I'm really relying on the fans of the list in here to help me out with bringing qualified people I'm missing, or people ABOUT to qualify for the list or even just 1x10k to my attention ASAP.
I don't think I'll be switching to 3x10k or any other more-artificial limit (top 100?) anytime soon. Maybe in 2007/when we're getting close to 200 members again. That starts to make the effort unbearable.
I'm glad to see that you're still around sir gfox, nice and sane. :)
Thanks, but I'd dispute that last part. Nice and sane? PLEASE. #;-}>
And as to you, BTW, you've had over 9k posts for many many months now, and every time I update the list, you've either gone up 0 or 6 posts or something. Look, man, I totally understand the lack of motivation to post around here... I myself don't post anywhere near as much as I once did. And I'm not even to 9k posts yet... but you're past 9600! You don't have much further to go. I know it'll take you awhile, but don't give up on that 10,000 postmark, okay? With any luck, you'll make it to 2x10k while the LIST is still 2x10k+. #;-}>

Thnx for the update! Good to see I'm finally on this list. My nexy aim is 10k saves but that might take a while.
You're quite welcome. Glad to see it as well. IF YOU GET 10K SAVES, THE GODS OF THE PENTALIST WILL FOREVER SMILE DOWN UPON YOU!

Sweet, thanks. :) I don't understand one thing, though - I'm listed with 40100 blams and 15250 saves, even though my own notes show that at the end of 2006-08-10, I had 40106 blams and 15248 saves. o.o
Something's wrong there, somewhere, although whether it's on my side or on yours, I can't say...
Ye be welcome as well. If you were paying much attention to my post back on 8/14 and then some of my list update ramble today, you'd have noticed that I did the data pull on a couple of days, and indeed didn't finish until 8/18 with the list update/notes/stats/webpage issues stuff.
At one point I was trying to update the list around 8/05 (IOW, the first bloody weekend of the month, like I always aim for every month but usually fail at)... well, I shouldn't say always fail. I usually get the data pull started/mostly done/completely done by Sunday night of that weekend, and then it takes me till Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday after work some nights to pull the update itself together. But not this time.
No, this time I started (and aborted) the actual data pull 2 or 3 times before I finally got all of the existing list members pulled on 8/09 and 8/10. And then I pulled some off-list peoples' data on 8/11, even.
I don't like doing it this way, but with how it's getting harder and harder to update the list, I actually start first with ramagi and work my way down. I USED to always check/pull data for 0x10kers first, then 1x10kers, and then finally the current listed members LAST, so their data would be the freshest, most up to date, and "accurate," at least for a short while.
But now? I can never be sure how much time, effort, energy I'm going to have to spare, and since the most important part of the update is making sure all the people ALREADY on it are updated, I gotta updated from the top down instead of the bottom up.
Long story short: I probably pulled your data twice, on two different days, along with many many other people's. And I probably updated your blams but not your saves. Or your saves but not your blams. Such accidents can happen. And frankly, I haven't worried much about that, especially if it was from say 8/08 and 8/10 that it happened.
The pentalist, when it was weekly... had to be as accurate as I could make it. It was updated often enough that I felt it necessary. Now that it's monthly? Well, if I pull data over a whole week's range, even... while it will suck for some people who got pulled earlier than others and didn't get a chance to re-pass/stay in front of their fellow members... overall, it's still gonna represent a state of NG pentalistdom from that month. 30-31 days is the range now, not 7, so I'm not gonna stress over it.
Your numbers were +4 and -2, that's not so bad. #;-}>
