Boom there goes my bandwidth ;).

It's from: http://www.breckyunits.com/statistics/2008/05/08/analyzing-t...

Wow. And this find is amazing. Really interesting analysis there. The one which was the most interesting was the bivariate fit of karma/joined by joined. Avg karma earned per day does not distribute over the length of existence.

Just a screenscape of all the user profiles, wouldn't of taken long to write up.

Nothing you can't already get by reading the site. Just username + about box.

Strange, care to tell us where you found it? Looks like it could have just been scraped because I did not see the email field in there at a glance.

Looks to be from a year or so back.

Roughly 198 days ago, and almost surely scraped.

Edit: some users have a 198 day gap from today, and some have a 189 day gap ... this might've been scraped over time

I am not on the list and my acct was here then.

I feel so ignored ;)

Weird, but definitely old. Not very complete, I'm on the list but not my job and I've mentioned it on here several times.

it is kind of outdated :]

198 days to be exact. Joined column - created (in profiles) = 198

I was searching for Axe and edopter, and this was the second result. Totally weird find...

Outdated site scrape. Flagged.
