- The compilation of the Top 100 has changed. Up till a few weeks ago the
- newsgroups were scanned and points were allocated to all the games that
- were discussed. This is no longer the case. There was just too much of
- my precious time going into this quite tedious activity, so I decided to
- stop scanning the newsgroups and use only the votes sent by email. The
- results will not be affected that much, since the news points had little
- weight in the compilation of the charts. The only noticable thing will
- be that new games will enter the Top 100 less rapidly than before. The
- difference may be one week on avarage, I guess. This shouldn't be that
- much of a problem. I now enjoy the fact that my weekly activities for
- the Top 100 have been reduced from roughly five to two hours.
