After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done.

On the front page in the listing for popular games based on hits under the 1 month tab we have:

As you can see it is out of order: not sure where to post this sorry. It also says 6 months at the bottom.

 

722,511 Unique Hits
Genre: Fantasy

 

 

378,335 Hits

 

 

418,132 Hits

 

 

450,657 Hits

 

 

554,547 Hits

 

 

#6 Fury
244,314 Hits

 

 

416,397 Hits

 

 

451,881 Hits

 

 

422,873 Hits

 

 

801,949 Hits

 

* Results based on unique hits over previous six months

I think they're actually ordered correctly, it's just that the numbers are those from the 6 months period, not 1 month.

Whose to say?! lol  Plus I  noticed how come the weekly ones go up and down?

Its like say in the weekly tab:  "game one" receives 100 unique hits over monday, tuesday, wednesday, but by thursday its only 50 unique hits (total so far) - how does that work? How can hits be taken off for a game - very fishy....

Heh, you're right, sometimes they lose hits. Fury sometimes has 271 hits and at other times only 268. Weird.

Anyway, just wanted to say that the "Year" tab has the same problem as the "1 Month".

Whoops... some of the counts for the different time periods were referencing other counts... should be fixed up now.  We're actually going to be pushing some changes to this area up this weekend which will add year counts as well.

 

The reason you might see differing counts if you refresh a page is that since the query to obtain this data from the database is fairly time intensive I've cached the data for approx 5 minutes between pulls.  So each web server in the farm will pull it's data at slightly different intervals causing the small discrepency in counts.
