Yes, points and rank are being weird. We know.

As a sort of notification to everyone, we know that points are being weird right now. Here's the rundown of what is happening. (EDIT: It appears that only upgraded users can see their point total. Non-upgraded users can only see their rank.)
At around October 10th, right when Yeago had accepted the card submissions for C15 that I submitted that had somehow gotten rejected, a lot of data was lost. The entire site underwent a database wipe and we are still experiencing the ripples of it.
The things that were affected include, but are not limited to:
- Cube Cycling
- Top Draft Picks
- Comment Streams
- Recent Threads
- Notifications
- Points
Yeago has just recently been able to get some of the data out from back-up. But not all of it. That is what caused the last two massive point fluctuations.
I'll leave you all with a closing message:
Or front page?
Not sure how important this is? It seems to be of medium importance.

I see this question asked to yeago and epoch's page a lot. Among forum posts, JC posts and a lot of discussion between users. I think it would be best to feature this for a couple of weeks until OGW spoilers start.

And here I was blissfully unaware that this was a thing. Well then, apparently this is a thing.

Proof that some of the T/O community follows the "points are made up" style of thinking :D

Looks like only upgraded users can have their points viewed. Good thing I changed the title.

I had a hilarious day last Monday where I went from 128-88-3 and back up to 300ish. Totally agree with Femme's meme... This site is about sharing ideas, not arbitrary points that mean nothing.

Technically it is Ohthenoises' meme ... which I think he took from someone else that was on here long before I was.

Oh, my mistake Ohthenoises & Femme_Fatale. Just agreeing with the premise. Was laughing about it all day.

I'm currently sitting at rank 42, which is nicer than the 124 I was at before everything got messed up. :) I still don't know what points do either.
November 25, 2015 10:53 a.m.
that's nice Gemini. I was ranked in the 160s and now it's saying i don't have a rank at all :-(

I don't quite understand why my points are going down on an almost hourly basis, and yet I'm still just as active as I was before. my rank has only dropped to 8 from 5, but my points are still going down by almost 100 every hour.

canterlotguardian: you ever seen the movie "In Time"? I'm not saying it's like that or anything...

yeah the points reset made things fucky for everyone.

Thanks for this but please fix the deck editing tools. I tried disabling both ad-block and ghostery, and I still can't edit my decks.

Let's all take a quick moment to thank Femme_Fatale, yeaGO, Epochalyptik and whoever else does things with the database for all the work they do. We never give you guys enough credit.
Seriously. I learned recently that this wasn't a for-profit enterprise. You guys host this site, maintain it, and put ungodly amounts of work into it because you value the community it provides.
Thank you.
