Given that Maxwells are so hard to get these days - with various amazing 'specialists' making it sometimes almost impossible to get half of their totals - what do you think of dropping the limit for displaying Maxwells in the MagaMilestones table to 1. It seems to me that if you manage to get one then you ought to be able to see it.

Also, how about a variation on the MiRB for getting into the top 100 for each category - this could perhaps be a SuperMiRB or maybe a sMiRB sounds more cool.
I suppose that there could also do a MegaMiRB for top 10's or perhaps it should be a DeciMiRB? Call it anything you want! I can't see me ever getting one!

Keep up the great work guys! :thumbs:

I'm pretty sure it's already at >0 for maxwells?

I've added a 'teramirb' category for top 100 to stay in my previous naming convention (like teraboks)

Thanks for the suggestion!

How about Top 4 team position (Like Vaios) and call that Linekers - might encourage people to join teams because no team, no Linekers. You probably need a minimum team size to stop people from just making up a team to get a Lineker.

How about Top 4 country position (again like Vaios) and call that Washingtons.

I'm assuming of course that I can claim naming rights?

Hi Bok
Just wanted to point out that the TeraMirbs don't appear to be working correctly in the Mega Milestones summary display box. I appear to get a zero for RankT and RankP, though I am sure that at one point it gave non-zero values!
Also it is missing from the MM Stats selection on the left hand side (as is Most Top 1000's btw). Also when you click TeraMiRBs from the MegaMilestones summary display box it gives a page of blank stats and shows ">9 for inclusion" rather than >0. I suspect the blank page of stats is down to the 0's in the Ranks but just thought I would point it out anyway just in case it wasn't.

I am not sure about Steve Hawkers suggestions, It seems to me that Team Ranking is pretty well served with Top #1's and Top #10's, but countries could be very interesting, especially for those with a small proportion of Boincers or just countries with small populations. It could help spread the Boinc Message/Interest further afield. Though I would propose trampling all over Steve's naming rights and calling them Hawkers rather than Washington's :D
Cheers

TeraMirbs should be fixed now. Was just a typo..

I've thought about the team MM before, the biggest problem is where a user has basically his own team, where he/she is the #1. BOINC allows you to create a team and disallow anyone from joining. I wouldn't want to encourage that.

What I could do is only count this for teams where there are more than (X) users in the team. 50/100? That's a little more difficult to code though.

Countries is a little similar. Though you can't create your own country, it might encourage users to switch countries in order to gain more entries and that would be simple enough.

(and Yes ^ Steve, if there is a new suggestion for an MM that I use, you have exclusive naming rights, within reason! :) )
