In order to give you the answer, a bit of history must be told.KimberlyB was the first to produce the Wetpaint 500 list. She did that every week for a time until she was redirected by Wetpaint to do other projects and could not spare the time to produce the list again. CaptSpaz a moderator here picked up where KimberlyB left off and produced the Wetpaint Top 100 list. It was very similar to the list now on that page. Then he spent a lot of time adding bells and whistles to the list. The new list became unmanageable to keep up. So it was forgotten. Then Moderator_Kevin (Wetpaint intern) asked the community, if they could automate the process of producing the list. Cryingdove, wrote macros to automate the process to produce the list in 5 minutes after recieving the raw data from Wetpaint. The list was produced once. Wetpaint failed to produce the raw data again. The raw data for a new month was finally given to another community member, walrusworldstudios to see if he could figure out how to automate the process. They were unsuccesful in their attempts. For what reasons they were given the task, I have no idea. The automation had already been developed. I requested the raw data from walrusworldstudios and have him attach it to the page. The list was produced and put onto the page as you see it today. Since then, no raw data has been extracted from the databae. There is only one person that knows how to produce the raw data and that is jeremy_wetpaint. He does not have the time to extract the data. And I spent a lot of my time learning how to create macros to meet a challenge to automate the production of that list. No Raw data equates to no Top 100 list. So, it has been two months since the list was produced and I suspect that the page will eventually be deleted. cryingdove 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

Here is a reference to jeremy_wetpaint's stance on the list. Read this thread reply # 18 and look at item 5 of his post.http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/thread/4418535/Hey+Wetpaint...How+about+giving+us+the+TRUTH Hope this adds some clarity to your question. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
