BeautifulTorment Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I'm old enough to know that when someone start to say that something is not done legit (like sly has said above) they themselves have taken measures to increase the leaderboard stats on psnp. I'm not taking sides with anyone on this matter as this rivalry will help increase the popularity of both sides, i'm sure YGC felt the same when psnp took the lead and went from 500K to 800K users in only a matter a few weeks/ a couple of months You're also naive enough to falsify reality. It did not take PSNP only a few weeks to gain the amount of users it has today. Sly has a limit set so that people can not add massive amounts of users to the site.

Adding people's friends lists to the site is useful because guess what, people like to compare with their friends. We increase at about 50k tracked users a month, same as it always has been, that's why I track the milestones. Even tracked YGC's for the time while we were behind: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreTheVictim Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 So when someone is a member on this website all his/her friends will be added to the tracked gamers? Or does that also work when you're not a member, but just a tracker gamer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacier6410 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Adding people's friends lists to the site is useful because guess what, people like to compare with their friends. Ok so i apologise that yes you have gained users of several months i will admit i used a very short time zone but it was just an example however it sounds like you are a bit protective on the subject of the leaderboard and by your very own statement, you add a users friends into the leaderboard so for example 1st on the leaderboard is Hakoom so if they have the maximum 100 friends on their psn they will have added 101 people to the leaderboard by joining themselves. So then say hakoom has a friend call them user1 who themselves has 100 friends because hakoom friend (user1) is now signed onto the leaderboard you will have to add all their 100 friends so they can track a comparision against their friends, and then user1's friends will be added and so on and so forth, so my original statement is true that in a roundabout way you have modified the numbers on the leaderboard, i just wonder how many of the 850K users you have on the leaderboard have actually added themselves, take the example of me my username was added onto the leaderboard because one of my friends joined so i have been a part of the leaderboard without actually doing it myself, but all said and done it's just a few numbers and it sounds like psnp's sly and ygc's sef are acting like a couple of kids in the playground so i say both of you need to grow up and appreciate what each site does, keeps the community happy and enables people to track their gamercards.

Tracking users from friends lists was turned off about 3 months before we moved servers because the queue couldn't handle it. Here's how often someone puts a PSNID into the homepage and updates: Even their own members notice it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azakos Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 [...] but all said and done it's just a few numbers and it sounds like psnp's sly and ygc's sef are acting like a couple of kids in the playground so i say both of you need to grow up and appreciate what each site does, keeps the community happy and enables people to track their gamercards. Why wouldn't there be competition between two sites dedicated to video gaming and trophy hunting? Just numbers? You do realize you're at a trophy site, right?

Kyouko_Sakura Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 They gained roughly 2,300 in an hour... I think those numbers are botched especially to gain 40,000 roughly in 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jennifayrie Posted November 25, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2012 I had no idea there was such competition between sites, especially enough to bother cheating with how many users you have. I find that pretty silly as both sites are always going to have people who prefer one to the other. How the site looks, is maintained, and the information it provides should be enough to draw in users without cheating numbers. Which is why I prefer this site i think the look and layout of our psnprofile is brilliant, i love it, forums too. New trophy lists are added asap and lots of new features added often to keep us happy. But most importantly for me and I'm sure a lot of people, are the members here, everyone is always so nice and helpful, I think you all help keep the site a lovely, friendly place to be hehe. Which is something that's kept me from posting in many forums in the past. Think i've found my home here 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_MovieMan29 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This kind of makes me competitive....I have been trying to get in the top 100,000 of the US since I joined here. I am now only 5,000 spots away....but with so many people joining, I need to work even harder! If only money didn't involve work....I think I could obtain top 50,000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now only 5,000 spots away....but with so many people joining, I need to work even harder! If only money didn't involve work....I think I could obtain top 50,000 I'm sure you will make it. It really is not that hard as the majority of people don't seem to care about trophies. If you are gunning for trophies, you will move up the leaderboards quite fast. I am like ranked in the top 2,000 or so in the US and I only have around 3,330 something trophies. The top guys have over 15,000 trophies, so you really don't need too much. Well, actually I use most gamer card websites that exist. But in this case it just seemed bogus to me. I noticed that I dropped more than 3000 ranks in one single night. This is bullshit.

kareha_ Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Oh...... that's right, I forgot all about that. Great, that means YGC gets and even bigger lead.....cheaters . Thanks for clarifying for me. As tw34kfr34ky said, this site was down for 2 days and sly had too use a 4 weeks old backup. In my graphic you can see how much gamers psnp had lost and how long this site was down. Additionaly you can see, that before the crash the user count raised much faster than now. I think I will make a statistic graph for ygc too, because I think they stuck between 1,170,000 and 1,180,000 for a long time. And I dont think ygc is cheating. Both sites have psnids who were not added by their owners, but by other gamers or friendlists. But on ygc it is much more easy to add a foreign psnid. There is no limit per ip. And I have to say, that if you have rang for example 3000 here, you dont have rang 3000 global. Because there are many gamers out there which have more trophy points than you and not listed here. So, go to another smaller leaderboard, if you want to have a better rang. The more gamer a leaderboard has, the more real your rang gets. (but sly does not want that ) Edited January 12, 2013 by kareha_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielVT Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Since we are 4,000 users away from tracking 900,000 users, I realized how close we are from 1 million users. I was wondering if we could celebrate this major milestone when it happens, Sly. Maybe like decorate the site with a banner, or flashing lights etc. for a week. I just think something so big should be made a huge deal over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
