I don't think that is going to mean very much in the long run, since if a room is fully optimised, then a person can't have his #1 score beaten any more. Therefore, newcomers can't get much of a meaningful score for this statistic, and the lucky and fast people who beat transit rooms first get a disproportionately high value.

Ah, I still have this. Brings back some memories. Stuart's nice average rank and everything.

Picture taken right after I succesfully imported all (terrible compared to what I could do now :D) scores from my old AE player file.

Gumo was in the lead before that. Add the two of us and you're close to complete list of players on the first place.

If we extrapolate average rank, there's just a chance I could grab the #1 slot if I played enough rooms. If not me, Michthro, who has the higher average score per room.

How about a list of longest standing but unequalled demos, on the misc page? Primary sort would be by total time the demo has been there, secondary sort the number of players who have equalled it.
