If you're thinking about a list similar to what BigBlueBalls had when he made this thread, don't expect anything like that from myself at all. I don't have such programming talent and the only ones who'd do something like that is someone who's enthusiastic as citricsquid was prior to taking all his NG stuff down. My list updates are a successor to what ramagi was doing before the redesign wrecked BigBlueBalls' automated list.

130 as of this list, but now I'm at 128. I think it's probably permanent since I deposited late today and will deposit again in the next 25 minutes or so. I can't wait to break 100... I really hope it happens within the next year because then it'll really start to feel like my efforts depositing have paid off.

While you're aiming for the top 100 next year, I'll still be heading for the top 150. What makes me shit my pants is that I may not reach the top 150 until I'm level 48! Imagine what level I'll be at when I get to the top 100!

Furthermore: I still hate gfox for having TWO accounts ranked higher than me. RETIRE ONE AND LET US HAVE THAT SPARE RANK, EH!?

There's someone you should loathe more than gfox and that's MI4-REAL-2001 for having a level 51 alt! That's above many big guns such as gfox and poxpower!

If it's been 25 monthly updates, it's over 2 years now ;)

Actually, it's not even 2 years yet. I mostly do this on a 4-weekly basis which is usually less than a month. My very first EXP update was posted on 28th June 2008. Also, if you remember the 1 year special update from last year and wonder if I'll make another one, then yes I will be. I'll post the regular EXP update on the Sunday and the 2 year special the following day. Can't wait until the day comes and see how everyone has done over the last 365 days.

Furthermore: I still hate gfox for having TWO accounts ranked higher than me. RETIRE ONE AND LET US HAVE THAT SPARE RANK, EH!?

See above - I remember when it was three accounts above me. Now that gfox has been retired, gfoxclock will eventually retire, but I have my doubts about a timeframe for that and indeed for the master himself as well.

I'm sure we'll all pass 36,000 EXP eventually, unless we entirely lose interest in the site or even ragequit like one of my friends did last year. gfoxclock WILL reach 36,000 EXP and should be stopping there as stated by gfox himself a few times now.

EXP Update #26 is now available!

Hello all and welcome to my 26th Top EXP Update. I've added two more small features. The first one being the EXP Overall statistics covering total and average EXP while the other one is special mentions for the most extreme milestones out there.

If any users in front or behind you have gained 260 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update.

Enjoy the update everyone!

Next Update: 27th June 2010

No deposits missed (thanks to Auz), which is nice. 10 ranks gained is even nicer.
I'm closing in on the top 300, which is just great. Also, my deposit rate will break the 60% barrier soon enough. :)

Nice to see I'm still taking good steps forward. There are some active users ahead of me, but I think I might gain at least another 7 ranks on the next update.

Thanks for the good update Bahamut!

I like the new features by the way, although I'm wondering what the numbers between the brackets mean. Is that the average gain and total gain for this month? If so, how can we have gained xxx,xx5 experience? Did someone sign up for the newsletter or something? =/

Sorry, I was meant to add the pluses for them. Fixed that now.

The overall stats includes new entries so it depends on them and the last digit of their numbers. We could actually get a 2 at the end if someone with x,xx2 joined the list.

At 5/30/10 10:23 AM, Bahamut wrote: EXP Update #26 is now available!

Looks like a gain of 1 rank last time should be followed by a gain of 6 or even perhaps 7 ranks.

I kid - It'll only be 6 ranks, because I'll be 10 points behind tying with Denvish. Still, that leaves ZIGZAG4EVA; Soul-Edge; forevertorn; Maximus-DM; davidtug and bila within my sights. Time to make hay while the sun shines :D

Having Cooped Bertuzzi44, I am left with a good pile of peeps to chase down now.

Not bad, not bad at all. I'm worried about the three users ahead of me who have 99% depositing rates. It might make my life difficult further down the road.

Thanks for the update!

And here is an update for you guys
#745 is now mine.
4 ranks gained since my last check ^^.
Plus i need ONLY 25 days before levelling and this is AWESOME.

Exp. Points: 13,350 / 13,600

How would you do that? If reverend deposits every day than he shouldn't care about who's behind him as those people can never catch him. ;)

The best thing about this is that you'll move to the top 50 by bumping a former top experienced user. humantarget52 will be your victim in about 20 days time.

Indeed.

Passing a former #1 exp. user = EXTRA credit.

Not exactly sure what inspired him to stop depositing, but as far as Newgrounds goes, Humantarget not being in the top 50 is pretty major news.

I don't think I caught ht52 at the top when I joined, but from what I've read, he and Pimp had pretty intense battles, with sides picked and etc. :P

I once heard he and Shrapnel became doctors and haven't deposited since with the exception of an occasional visit. However, anything could have happened so it's best to say the real world was too demanding for them.

I heard about Shrapnel becoming a doctor. I also heard that he sees his patients with a bag on his head.

That happens if you change your e-mail address since you are only given a rank if the address is verified. Since experience ranks are only calculated once a day, changing your e-mail during that particular time will make your experience rank 0 for that entire day.

553 zimzap 14,958 37 280 +18 50.91% 05/14/02

Just entered the top 550 today in addition to the 18 ranks gained last month. Kind of depressing seeing that I only improve my voting percent by less than one percent per month of perfect activity!

Yes,Bahamut.
Maybe i caught this screen at 4:45 because i posted at 4:53 (8 minutes later).
In 8 minutes i caught the screen,decided if post on BBS or not,uploaded to imageshack,posted on the BBS.

Thank you too for the info ;)

Gah! The no-depositors get fewer and further between every day as I climb :( Looks like it might even take six months or more to climb from 658 to 600 :(

nice update Bahamut! I actually check this list regularly. :)

You think that's amazing? When the end of 2004 came around I had a commanding lead over this 'Bahamut7' guy. Now he outranks me like I did him back then. Unreal... ;P

Even though I'm not active here anymore I just wanted to say thanks from the bottom of my dying stat whores heart. This list along with a few others(such as Wylo keeping the Top Voters list alive) make me very happy to see them still going & that there are those still here today keeping the number counts alive. :D

Thanks, Bahamut.

EXP Update #27 is now available!

Hello all and welcome to my 27th Top EXP Update. Tomorrow will mark two years of myself running the EXP updates so stay tuned tomorrow for the 2 year special update!

If any users in front or behind you have gained 260 EXP or less, they've definitely missed a deposit since the last update.

I hadn't noticed I entered the top 250 yet. Quite a nice achievement, although not as nice as top 200/300... Anyway there is a group of about 8 active depositers ahead of me and only a few inactive ones, so I don't expect as many ranks up as I had this time.

Top 1,000! Way to go, perfect depositing!

And I've passed some noticeable users and some former stat-whores, which is always nice. I was predicting a +20 in the previous update, and it's good to be wrong this time. ;P

For the next update, I should hit 12,000 Exp and pass... +25 users? Hopefully I'm wrong again! :P

Dunno what happened there but I fixed the sign-up date for you. What I find really odd is that the users around you have the correct sign-up dates so I don't know why you were the odd one out. If you find any other mistakes, be sure to let me know and I'll correct them as soon as possible.
