It is sensible, and reasonable... but, if some of the reports above are true... it's buggy. I like that, when I search for my player name, I can see which songs I have medals on. In addition, I would very much like to see which songs I'm fourth on... those ones where, with just a little extra push, I might get a medal :). In fact, if the rank is above 50, it'd be cool to see it (ranks below 50 being less meaningful in the current system). I am fine with the removal of old records from the database.

Before, I had several medals, now I have 0 points and no songs played on my scores page. I decided to check up! Quick Example; Misirlou, my score in supaeasy = 70502. I think that should be third place, above the guy with 69747... definitely top 50!!! I agree that the database needs trimming, but I’m still a little confused as to why my scores have been removed.

I understand the reasons why you had to move all the "spare" records, and I am agree with you. You can't just let the DB grow and grow and grow. I have "lost" scores, as everybody, but think about it: soon or later, it had to happen. It's nice to purge some old records nobody is fighting for, and this encourages people to fight for the main 50 positions. Big up to you all! See you fretsonfiring. Hello!

Just my opinion. Why not just show the 50 best and delete smaller scores.

I've now added a link to this blog entry from the charts site. The global score position, or the progressive score number as you called it, was actually one of the worst database chewers in the system, so it was first to go. I agree that it would be a nice feature, but some pretty heavy optimization needs to be done before it returns. Hi Piccia,
