Awhile back, Wentu posted a compilation showing number of games made.

At that time, there were 16 in the 100 club...

Ashgabat now has 100 games.

Congrats to the "Bat"

And welcome to the 100 club.

I think you are #17 to reach that mark.

I remember way back when Niklas was the only one in that club...

...so also a bit of congrats to David for keeping this site going and improving for all this length of time.

ashgabat — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:35:49 +0000

Yeah, way to go!

I have just gotten 100 games too, not bragging, but I estimate that under 100 people have 100+ games, but only 5 of the top 20 game creators by plays have 100+ games. And all of the top 20 creators have been here for more than two or so years.

That means we need to do a little fixing to the system...

And I can't think of anything....

Reasonable....

Nice job Slaaty!

Wentu on "40,000 Members (and thanks to David)"

Wentu — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:30:16 +0000

Probably I already wrote this but a solution would be to reason not with fixed milestones but with percentages of general totals. For examples: so far there are 20,000 games played all in all 20,000,000 times . Let's say a gold member is the one who played 1 thousandth of the times, that is, 20,000 times. But tomorrow when all the games will be played 25,000,000, to be a gold member you will need to have played 25,000 times.

It could be this, or number of ATH as a percentage of total games created: to be a gold member I need to have ATH in 1% of all the games... things like these I think would push to play a lot more...

Yeah, and the categories in the Leaderboards are getting overfilled. There are now 49 Grand Master +s. (Me being the most recent)!

We have now crossed that 20,000 game milestone.

No sign of it slowing down...

Thank you all!

It was certainly never expected that PG would ever reach these volumes but I'm happy to see that we're still here and growing.

I'm always amazed at how many great games people come up with and keep coming up with, every day.

So, here's my thank you to all you members out there - you truely make PG a great place to be. Thank you.

PG has just passed another milestone; there are now over 40,000 members. Sure, there are those who are no longer active, and those who have multiple profiles, but this is huge. There were fewer than 1500 when I joined, a few years back.

We are about to hit another milestone, too: Another 157 games will take us up to 20,000 on the site.

And we're over 200 groups now, as well.

This is all a credit to David, who has done a phenomenal job of creating, updating, maintaining and improving the site.

Many thanks to David.

And to all:

Good Luck, and Good Games

I hope it's okay, I decided to post the list of people I give nods to here, so I can have it as a reference and also to give them some extra acknowledgement. If anyone else wants to say who they're giving nods to and/or why, they can do it here too.
