Stats and Top Users -- Back and Better than Ever!

If you go to Top Users you'll see something amazing:

Roblefko has over a million points. And others have six digit totals.

Why? Because we redid the stats to take into consideration new features and the old stats. Basically, we screwed up, so we're fixing it.

And ... because from now on (well, starting Monday), we're going to have Weekly and Monthly top users scoreboards.

So, no more "seasons." Just all-time, monthly, and weekly. S'cool? Let us know.

AND -- no more "super secret formula." Here's the nitty-gritty. If you see something you don't like, let us know. It's a flexible formula.

Sign up for an account: 1,000 points. We figure, hey, everyone should start off with something.
Put up an avatar: 100 points. You only get it when you replace the initial avatar. Easy points for the new user.

Writing an article: 100 points.
Having your article hit the front page: 100 more points.
Voting for an article: 5 points. Hey, you did something, and we appreciate it, so you get points.

Winning a challenge: 100 points.
Losing a challenge, but having the winner rate your performance positively: 50 points. Even losers can win!
Losing a challenge, and having the winner rate your performance negatively: -150 points. Don't be a fool, do your duty!

A whole set of points for sharing the 'chair!

Installing the Facebook App: 250 points. Spread the love and we'll love you back. One time only -- don't try and uninstall and reinstall. It'll not work, foo!
Each friend: 25 points.
Each foe: 25 points.
Giving a gift: 25 points.
Getting a gift: 50 points. 'Tis better to receive than to give!
Referring a friend: 100 points. So, get cracking!

Leave it in the comments! (And earn 35 points!)
