From the math one would expect this to slow down.


Yup, it will indeed level off over time in the way you describe. So there will be a stage where it all but grinds to a halt - who will be in, and who will be out? I for one am volunteering to drop out!

Yup, it does seem as if the stats on that top raters pages are unreliable, and that's alas all I can go on. Frickin monkey coders need a kick up the backside.

In other news, BeerAndBlues2 has already muscled in and pushed crossovert out of the top 50. Then again, crossovert was moving fast enough to burst into the top 51 last time, so will probably counterattack.

Or the numbers are random, and I'm just seeing motion where there isn't any. Sigh...

Your rate seems to have dropped in the second half of the year, so the 550 days I gave you last time seems to have evaporated a fair bit, but your buffer zone is still at least 200 days even if you really slow down.

Well, clearly some weird shit has been going on as there was an enormous change in the stats over the weekend. Somewhere between 5 and 10 thousand ratings just appeared in the space of a few hours. Possibly last month lots of ratings were getting lost, which explained why it was a slow month, and now they've been found. Anyway, it looks like we're now down to only 49!

Yes some lost and then change made so ticks counts also in your total 😉

Is this change temporary or permanent, though?

So 2000 ratings above 49th position have disappeared in the last half day, so I reckon we should just ignore the current stats, they're just random numbers at the moment. RB is a shambles.
