The user stats shows Loyce at the #2 spot on merit ranking
Ah, thanks for checking that and thus providing a translation for OP's posts. I thought there were at least 2 members who had more merits than LoyceV--Theymos and satoshi, but I guess I'm mistaken (again, I hadn't looked at the list in a long time). That's impressive, LoyceV, though you've clearly earned every merit you've received.
You'll have to dig into forum history if you want to find out what that's all about

Hm. That's interesting, and perhaps I'll take a look at the links you and Upgrade00 provided. As much as I love this forum, I don't spend a lot of time on BPIP or looking at statistics--though when I do, I always find it fascinating.
Edit: Holy cow, I just checked the BPIP link from Upgrade00 and found that I was way off by thinking satoshi had as many merits as I thought he did. I guess it makes sense, as people see posts by o_e_l_e_o, fillippone, LoyceV, and the others at the top more so than ones by satoshi. Cool stuff, thanks again Upgrade00!
