The post ranks you guys came up with were too long to be put on a badge. The badges can get shrunken down to 16 x 16 pixels at times.

Edit:
News for others.

I've decided to add some gloss to the generated signatures. Only thing I can't do is add cool animations for everyone. I would have to start paying for hosting if I did that. My signature alone is 18.6mb. Multiplied by 209 users is over 3gb. Not to mention, the stats get re-uploaded hour by hour (which would eat up a ton of bandwidth). I only have 1000mb of free hosting. Currently, the generated signatures are 40kb. I only ever have to upload 15mb hour by hour.

Alright. I've modified the code to navigate to a quarter of the image, as opposed to the half point of the image. Should be fixed in 8 - 10 minutes.

Its a combination of GDI and a third party API for outputing a GIF.

Edit(3/15/2014):
For those of you who want to see a more recent run of the stats.
[media=youtube]Hh_0NFKZbGs[/media]

The stats run faster than they ever have. 24 seconds is now the average time to process data, and the stats are able to be ran every 5 minutes. Removing badges/signatures also aided heavily in the speed increase.

If you've ever posted a blank post on the forums, there is nothing I can do. Since, that is what causes quote issues.

What about post counts? I'm pretty sure most of us have been past those numbers for awhile now...
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.

If any of you guys are wondering about the certainty calculations the stats make, its based on whether you've actually maintained a consistent post count across two weeks. If you make 0 posts one week, then make 14 posts the next, the stats calculate the values between the two weeks and create a percentage based on the highest value.

"0/14 = 0" so there is a 0% chance of calculations lining up in the coming 12 months.

Examples:
  • If you make 9 posts one week, and 14 posts the next week, the stats assume a 64% chance of calculations lining up in the coming 12 months.
  • If you make 14 posts one week, and 14 posts the next week, there is a 100% chance of calculations lining up in the coming 12 months.
  • If you make 15 posts one week, and 14 posts the next week, there is a 93% chance of calculations lining up in the coming 12 months.
  • etc
Hopefully that clears some things up.
