I think the interest has levelled off precisely because the high scores seem unobtainable to your common or garden filesharer. Pruning them is an excellent idea.
I would challenge you and Busy to a game to settle it but it appears they don't have Minesweeper, MSHearts or Freecell :(
Interest has levelled off because most people don't care to play games. The arcade has lost its novelty value now, deleting the scores of people who actually still play it is just going to turn more people off.Quote:

This poll clearly contradicts that statement, since it's the only data I have, I'm going to assume it's correct and ignore the fact that you've prolly voted 5 times :DQuote:

I implore you to think of the little people, say YES to teh prunage.
2 of me voted for pruning anyhow... :blink:Quote:

I think the whole poll is a sham because no-one really thought this through until the poll was posted and thus we have a poll that represents two sides to an argument but doesn't take into account that there is a very happy middle ground that keeps everyone happy (more or less).
*That's three, but meh...
You think I can't see that. However, I won't rest until the high scores are totally pruned. It's all or nothing, bollocks to the bleeding heart liberals.Quote:

And, if the arcade is set-up in the compromise type scenario, then what difference does it make if the overall High Scores are kept? You will actually have to click a link to see them if I'm guessing by what Reality said the month's scores will be the front page for the scores.
I just don't want to lose my Tetris score, k?
Why do I always get to be the liberal? For once I want to be a right-wing mentalist.Quote:

If high scores were removed, I wouldn't care as much.
I know the high score in Flamingo Drive is 3487. If that was deleted so would that target score.
I would totally lose interest. I like the challenge of going higher, being faster, getting better.
Arcades should never do a reset. World records don't get lowered. Why should this? People that are lazy...fuck them. People that are not that good tend to get better. I know I did.
Some people are just uncompetitive pussies.
The Guiness Bookof World Records & the Olympics should also do prunage every month
