S o if activity's the key, can someone please tell me, when someone is prolific, how they drop?
E ven though they write every day and through the night, it doesn't seem enough to reach the top
C an you explain to me with some accuracy how somebody who doesn't write so much
R ises past the one I'm waiting to be congratulating, by rarely making pen and paper touch
E veryone should rightly know it's the writes that make us grow and not a number systems siren call
T he secret seems to be (though it didn't come from me) is not to write so much, or bugger all...

I gaze upon my blank canvass. Then I stare at the words above. Im amazed at the words that appear. When my thumbs are free and un cuffed. I often think they have little meaning.

@sarahgamal @sammielee46 @Burrfoot well it's just a little strange. We all know the ranks are bunk, but I keep an eye on them, check out the movers and shakers, high risers I may have missed and all that. And I've been waiting to congratulate ProlificPat on reaching the top for ages, but he's moved down, and replaced by Kathy who doesn't do anywhere near as much. I'm not really fussed, just wondered how that could be. ππ
@leelee101 yeah I took a look, they seem to work 24 hours in arrears. She went through a period of higher activity for a few days. Be interesting study comparing them
π nope, can't find a reason. I thought number of pages were coming into play, but that doesn't bear scrutiny. Neither does likes (for and given); or comments (received or made). An exception indeed
@Burrfoot @sammielee46 I know, nothing seems wrong. I'm not too fussed, I'll keep a lil' look out as normal. Just one of those things I guess ππβ
Oops sorry *I looked and I had risen 968 in rank! It's really strange how it works. I have no idea whatsoever how it happened...
