Top Members List. Missing Stalwarts!

Hi guys! I was going through the list of the top members of ATS and I observed that there were some who were missing. Take for example the once ubiquitous mikesingh. Though I really wasn't a fan of his, but still liked his posts which were always exciting. Thought I'd find his name high on the top member list but didn't. His statistics:

ATS Points: 351,990
Flags: 4,967
Stars: 5,522
WATS Index: 137
Last Visit: July 28, 2009
Threads Started: 519
Post Count: 4,491
Applause: 130

So what's the criteria for being included in that list? I don't think he was banned but quit on his own. Hopefully he comes back. Whatever, why doesn't his name figure?

I think it's active posters only, people that leave on their own or otherwise are banned are not listed.

Shouldn't December_Rain (someone who I always thought was an awsome member) be number 49 on the list as well?

Ooohhh, that would explain it.

Been wondering about this for a while.

Interesting, maybe the criteria also includes regular posting?

I must email him and ask whether he's got over this stuff!

I was gonna say that but figured I better not But I would think members that are no longer in good graces would not show on the list... like Internos as well

Yeah well I have about 20% of what I have on line so far... I keep adding stuff but need to have a new menu as even I have trouble finding stuff sometimes

Problem is new stuff comes in to fast theses days.. need a team of sexataries to keep up

And what of Phage? He's up there at the top too. But he hasn't been on since Nov. 18th. What gives?

Yeah I noticed that Maybe...Maybe Not has been scarce too.

a) Their contract expired
b) there office transferred them
c) Aliens abducted them
d) they are on vacation
e) something really happened to them

One thing about online names is they are very annonymous and we only miss the regular posters when they stop. I have a list of people that have vanished from ATS... no explanation... some just quit, one sent me a plan for a fuel cell then I never heard from him again... one was a space scientist and she just went 'poof' along with all her images and links from her site... scary that...

Had a belly dancer in our group... one day she just vanished. No one had her real name or number, just the dance name... 2 years later we found out what happened... she was a victim of that Anthrax mail and didn't want anyone to see her as she was... She is better now... but shows how things happen when no one knows who you are
