Now let me speak about what I've been hinting at throughout the list notes, especially at the very top and in the course of explaining my fudgings. Basically, I've been informed that our profiles are likely to soon experience massive changes. The "favourite flash movies" change to "favourite flash content" and the review linkage move from the number part to the text part... are but small examples. SK's Lister will obviously remain incapable of dealing with these changes without some recoding, and I'm not sure that the profile's final form will be ABLE to be pulled. And even if it were, I've also been informed that the massive amounts of data pulling that the NG Lister is generating, even among the few people who are able to use it, is taxing the system because it requires individual page pulls (of each person's profile HTML file)... and that NG may be adding new OFFICIAL lists to the site soon. I hope that this will mean, finally, an actual top 50 VP list alongside the top 50 exp and top 50 b/p lists, where it truly belongs. And perhaps also VP ranking in our profiles, as I have been adding into my screenshots artificially for over a year now. Obviously, the VP list is going to be rendered obsolete, as some other lists will be as well. That, and the simple database queries official NG lists depend upon for their data... versus the drain caused by NG Lister or similar programs... means NG improvement. So we should all be happy about that. Now, obviously, the pentalist isn't going to become an official NG list, no matter WHAT lists end up coming about. But I'm not sure I could ever quit lists cold turkey. So, I would like to continue this list as my final and only NG list... but since I won't be using a program to create it any more, I'm not willing to update it the way it is now manually, time and time again. This list will probably be further whittled down by me adding two simple requirement: A) you must have 10,000 in TWO of the 5 stat categories. B) you must notify me that YOU (or that someone else, I suppose) have reached 10,000 in a second stat to be added, as I won't be doing much manual searching (and I won't be able to automatically check and recheck hundreds and hundreds of profiles ever again) for new additions unless I happen to know that someone's poised on the edge of 2 10,000 stats because I've seen their posts in other threads talking about it or something. This will obviously make the list even more elite, but that's kinda the way it started out. A list that features less than 50 people (29 people currently) is easy enough to do manually, and that's what such requirements would result in. Perhaps eventually it would have to be further narrowed down to 3 10,000 stats, but we'll see. Obviously, this new form of the pentalist wouldn't really have as much appeal to as many people, but it would still be something interesting to make, and give me something to do, and it would be an enduring symbol of true stat-dedication that would be easy to update manually by looking at the appropriate profiles, whatever their new form or layout is. So we'll see how things go. Some things to think about, if nothing else. I hate being the bearer of bad news yet again, but... there you have it. And now you know why this may be the last update of the list the way it is now. Now, if these anticipated changes end up taking longer than expected, and January goes by without the changes and everything remains as it is today, yes, I will update the list like this again, most likely. But I'm just preparing for the "end of times" as it were, and wanted to prepare you all as well. With that said, I end this insanely long ramble. Now, on to the list stats, list additions, double/triplelist section, and the list update itself:
