[QUOTE="RetroDude, post: 116097, member: 187"] All that means is that you recognize some forum members as having some very high scores for that game. In no way does identifying certain members translate into any sort of average for forum members or non forum members. Certainly with no way to come up with any sort of percentage. If you had said that you've identified some forum members among the hugest recorded scores in the leader boards, that would be both accurate and indisputable. The 90% figure has no basis in anything but pure guesswork. Perhaps the number IS accurate. Perhaps not. Without the ability to track the rankings of every forum member, there is zero chance at any sort of fact based conclusion being made. The forum stats currently show: Members 3,545 Active Members 824 Without identifying either all 3,545 or even the 824 members in the leader boards, your numbers are not much better than a guess fitting into a pre-conceived answer based on anecdotes and partial data. Heck, you even admit that you don't know all of the members' names on the leader boards. Those other members could lower your numbers just as easily as raise them. My pure speculation is that many forum members that are NOT anywhere near the top of the leader boards don't post their scores here and tend to be lurkers and readers rather than the most frequent posters. That alone could trash any attempts to divine any sorts of forum user average scores. Heck, my current Twilight Zone ranking on the iOS leader board is 10,706. My overall Hall Of Fame ranking is 2,126. My numbers are better than a lot of people and worse than a lot of people. They are both considerably lower than some of the folks here in the forums. I would guess (note that I'm saying that it's only a guess and not attempting to state it as any sort of fact) that my rankings are better than some folks who are forum members. Once again, I don't want an argument, just that speculation not be pushed as fact. Unverifiable and unbacked "statistics" are worthless and don't serve any valid purpose when trying to debate or discuss [i]any[/i] issue. [/QUOTE]
