For the few loyal fans of the monthly updates

Posted by ramagi Aug. 1, 2007 @ 10:12 AM EDT

Well as you all know ith the redesign that it completly changed the layout of how user pages are and the deposit page. Since all the info for the top 2000 as all know has gone to the way side, it means all the info for the top 1000 monthly has gone the same way. I chatted with BBB a couple days after the redesign. Made him aware of the changes. He said at the time he was very busy and may look at if the issues could be fixed. Since then, have not heard from him. I did email him and no response either. I tried to contact him as well today and still have no heard from him.

It looks like the list may be finally dead, the level of effort to translate all the user id's I have to the user names so the profiles all link properly. Plus the fact I 'd have to visit all of those pages to pull the current exp. Does not really sound like any fun to me, sure once long ago I do a top 500 list that way, but it was a lot of work, and took time. Now I'm working full time, time is something I don't have a lot of. I actually jsut home from work, but the status is the same. :(

People like Shittykitty and Bigblueballs have helped this list continue on long past what had ever thought of orginally. I thank them both for there assistance. I also thank format, for who provided a little peice of the web, to put info out there for people. You also should thank him, gave me ad free site to which read my comments, and post the list when I did that.

I still have the info from last the end of the last two years, I never got very motivated. I may now take some time and throw that together. I may even take some time to through an end or slightly after mid year report together as a send off.

Thanks for your support.

Feel free to leave comments.

It was great while it lasted and an awesome job was put forth to maintain it.

If it is the end of it for sure though, then just remember that it was awesome while it lasted and we appreciated that you did it for us.

Thanks.

thanks for the kind words

Even though I'm sad to see the list go, I thank you guys for doing such a good job for the past couple of years.

Aug. 3, 2007 | 7:55 AM ramagi responds:

I look back at when I started the whole thing alone, it doesn't even seem real.


Aug. 2, 2007 | 11:45 AM Dopefish says:

Noooooooo!

I used to check those lists daily to see how I was doing in the exp race. Now I'm at least in the top 50 so I can check that way, but the top 50 list seems to be broken and hasn't updated correctly since the redesign.

Hopefully you all can work something out, but if not, at least you tried. Thanks for all of the great updates - they will be missed.

Aug. 3, 2007 | 7:53 AM ramagi responds:

yea the top 50 hasn't updated as well, that will be fixed eventually, I know the staff has more important stuff to work on.

something may evenyually be worked out, who knows's at this point I plan to give a more clear idea here soon.


Aug. 2, 2007 | 12:58 PM ThemonkeyonNG says:

That sucks. Just recently I noticed I was ranked in the top 2,000 list....

Tis a sad day...

Aug. 3, 2007 | 7:54 AM ramagi responds:

things are a bit in lmbo, but good job getting into top 2000


Aug. 2, 2007 | 6:22 PM wismty says:

One less reason to come to the BBS :(...

Thanks for all the updates ramagi.

<3

Aug. 3, 2007 | 7:54 AM ramagi responds:

lol we didn't even post updates that regulary, not like the other lists, but exp takes a while longer to really change.

I'm very sad. :(

awwwwwwwww ;(


Aug. 3, 2007 | 8:18 AM Coop83 says:

Thanks for the memories, ramagi.

I suppose there must always be a sad ending to something, in order to start this glorious new beginning of NG and sadly this is one of them.

Still, you're one of the users who I tend to keep a track of, to see how close you are coming to finally passing the remaining 19 victims on the Experience list. Good luck with that.

Aug. 3, 2007 | 12:33 PM ramagi responds:

I hav my doubts that I'll pass all 19, I may sneak out the 20's eventually, most of the people in the top 20 are die hard. I am just happy, I only have a little over 2 months to go to level instead of the 2 years I had before. I swore I make it to level 26 on the old system, I valuted right past that and have 46 to look forward too, which IMO is a much cooler looking icon.

All you have to do is take a user name and type it in like this.

See-

Your user page appears as this in my browser: http://ramagi.newgrounds.com/

So, in theory, all you must do is type in the username before "newgrounds.com" (and after http://) and add a period after it. Then all you'll need to do is put the links with their corresponding users. That's how I got to your userpage without using a clickable link, so I suppose it should work.

Another thing you can do to make it a little easier on you since you're doing an exp list is to look at the top 50 everyday and copy and paste the exp they have.

I'm pretty lazy about these kind of things so that's what I learned to do. I hope that helps you out.

Aug. 3, 2007 | 7:59 PM ramagi responds:

oh I knew that, it not the fact of not knowing how.

it is more about the time.

Since most my info is user id based cahnging to name would take time, then the checking of close to 1000 user profiles after that. takes even more time.
noting there exp putting on the lsit, sorting the list...you get the idea
with working 40 hour a week plus the time to andd from work and time to get ready that 50 hours. plus getting enough sleep for work. It ads up quickly.

To hell with doing it daily, you some one has time to do it daily more power to the, Just once a month is more than enough for anyone.

The info was being gotten all auto maticlly before, it made it 1000 times easier.

You still hardly make any sense, ramagi :P heheh <3.

ttys ^_^

Aug. 4, 2007 | 7:51 AM ramagi responds:

sorry mate next time I'll post in down under speak.
Read my news post # 2 should be readable by you.


Aug. 4, 2007 | 4:23 PM huz100 says:

it was great but it has ended and i don't acchualy speak like this


Aug. 5, 2007 | 1:33 AM Kisuke says:

Ah well, can't be helped now. Like all the good lists of old they come to a passing such as this.

Aug. 7, 2007 | 10:32 PM ramagi responds:

time does make me
I make time


Aug. 5, 2007 | 11:05 PM Flee says:

It's sad to see that page go to waste. I actually bookmarked it and would pop in to see how the users where ranked. G'bye top 2000.

Aug. 7, 2007 | 10:32 PM ramagi responds:

uI still havn't seen or heard from bbb tis sad :(


Aug. 7, 2007 | 6:26 PM Vert says:

Well, having participated in a update before BBB created his list, I understand perfectly how much work goes into the damm update, and recreating the list would mean even more trouble than "merely" going that, so I guess we won't see a top users list again for some time... at least, until liljim or Ross decide to stop being lazy and finally create a list for us!

Still, cheers for the patience to make all those updates in the past, you are a true heroine to many NG users!

Aug. 7, 2007 | 10:31 PM ramagi responds:

yea I was pressed for time that time, things were a bit different for a couple updates. I did appreciate the help. I wouldn't cout on james expanding the lsit any time soon. There enough to kkeep them busy till the end of the year. There so many thigns peopel are even aware of that they fmake it work better.
Thanks for the kind words


Aug. 8, 2007 | 11:10 PM Farplane says:

Too bad that out of all this new stuff they couldn't make specific rankings, like most reviews responded, most reviews, etc.
Also are you purposely keeping your B/P at 64k and 36k so it's 100k or am I just going through one huge coincidence :P

Aug. 10, 2007 | 7:45 AM ramagi responds:

no your not imagining anything, I am keeping it 100K.

more rankins may or may not be added.......there plenty of othwr stuff for them to do right now


Aug. 11, 2007 | 8:11 PM DaSadGirl says:

R.I.P. level list. I'd check it at least once a month.

: ( 6

Aug. 14, 2007 | 7:44 PM ramagi responds:

yea tis sad


Aug. 13, 2007 | 11:29 AM PlasmaRadio says:

Even though, I followed the list closely, and I appreciate the work... It should be Fulp and his cronies resposibility. While their at it they should build a system that show the rankings of all the users... there is only a scant million of them.

Aug. 14, 2007 | 7:43 PM ramagi responds:

yea I wouldn't count on a list for everyone.


Aug. 13, 2007 | 10:14 PM puddinN64 says:

well that sucks...so no hope?

Aug. 14, 2007 | 7:42 PM ramagi responds:

never say never...but don't count on toio much.

come back when it's worth something ;0


Aug. 15, 2007 | 4:01 PM gfoxclock says:

All good things must end. But thank you for doing the updates for so long, ramagi. I know exactly what you meant about SK and BBB helping to make the list continue on and change in ways you never saw coming. So of course neither did the rest of us!

One thing, though, ramagi: couldn't liljim or another admin, once all the redesign madness and fixes are done... couldn't they give you a list of the top 1000 exp users by userid# AND by username? That way you could get everything up to date for one last great update or something.

Now, turning to some of the other comments I've read who seem to think it'd be simple for ramagi to update the list:

Keep in mind, it's not as simple as just going to all the new userpages to update an old list post-redesign. If you have a bunch of user ID#s (which are now apparently useless) and a bunch of old usernames (which may have been changed before the username lockdown in March 2007), then you've got NOTHING. You can't just magically find all the old people on a list. I'm going to have this problem when I try to do one last pentalist update now, unless an admin decides to be kind and let us access userpages via userID# as well.

userID#s, BTW, are still listed in one place: the FanNet. That's it, though.

Aug. 16, 2007 | 9:20 AM ramagi responds:

yea you do need to uupdate the links on your pentalist :)
As far as bugging liljim, I am not even going there, him and ross have a ton of stuff to do right now. Heck I know him for years now, I suggest every just let them do their thing right now. Don't you worry I always mange to come up with a bag of tricks now and then. I may eventually come up with something out of my bag of tricks. Now clock day is over, I can get back to focusing on other things.

I'm actually hopping maybe next year once most of the dust settles that the top user lists can be expanded past the top 50, but I would not count on anything like that for at least a year...if ever.

also I already knew about the fannet thing :)


Aug. 16, 2007 | 7:51 PM Seamonky says:

I am sooo close to the top 1,000 Experience Points that I can taste it. :0

Aug. 17, 2007 | 7:55 AM ramagi responds:

keep depositing you will make it.


Aug. 16, 2007 | 8:33 PM BOZARTH187 says:

Oh nevermind im retarded. Damn im only 12 away from being on the top 1k list.

Aug. 17, 2007 | 7:56 AM ramagi responds:

cool, keep at it


Aug. 17, 2007 | 7:00 AM Haggard says:

Such a sad thing... just a few days before I entered the Top 1,000 the list can't be updated (for at least quite some time) :( .
And I really liked the Top 2,000 EXP Users list, I checked it at least once a day to see how my "rivals" are doing :/ .

I really hope that there will be another list sometimes!

Aug. 17, 2007 | 7:57 AM ramagi responds:

heck I still havn't seen or heard from BBB at all.

it may or may not come back only time will tell.

Aug. 17, 2007 | 6:24 PM Matt says:

I actually found out that NG was being updated on the specific day by visitng the top 2k users page first and realizing that it wouldn't load as a result of it. I figured that the list would have gone to hell (If HTML has some sort of religion) as a result and I don't expect it to return, but it was a useful tool while it lasted. I remembered it again today when I noticed I was ranked #201 and I was curious as to exactly who was infront of me/if they were still depositing.

Oh well, so much for that, I wouldn't worry too much about reviving it. If somebody is curious enough and really wants detailed info they'll eventually make a similar site or possibly even better tool. For example, if Denvish's "NG log" had a few more subscribers I bet it would cover your site's absence and more.

Aug. 25, 2007 | 8:21 PM ramagi responds:

yea html is a funny thing, plus working with in how ng put out the information is another factor.

The ng log is ok, but you can't trouble everyone to join it


Aug. 18, 2007 | 3:42 AM Fighterspledge says:

Figured that I would also offer my own condolences for the work that you have done for the list. I was pretty excited to see my progress. On top of that, I got to see a strange trend that had people depositing points or blaming/saving flashes ... but not both. Kinda like a character flaw that keeps things interesting I guess. I guess I'll keep on truckin with the point grind and perhaps I'll be up there in the ranks of the Commanders sometime.

Catch you around the site. ^_^

Aug. 25, 2007 | 8:13 PM ramagi responds:

well now with the auto deposit it no longer optional whenm voting on at least 5 things. So people that don't want to level up have to be careful about voting.
The auto deposit does in a sense make it really easy for those wanting to deposit and new people


Aug. 19, 2007 | 12:42 PM gfoxcook says:

I know liljim and the others are super-busy right now, ramagi, that's why I said to ask him for help "once all the redesign madness and fixes are done" in my comment on 8/15 (that I accidentally posted with gfoxclock, whoops! #;-}>).

As for the fannet user id#s thing, I figured you'd know. I was posting that for the benefit of all the foolios who think you should be able to make a list update all nice and super-easy now.


Aug. 22, 2007 | 4:02 AM Shaun says:

i hope BBB or someone else eventually remakes an automatic top 1000 list.
it was such an interesting addition to my newgrounds addiction.
