Congrats to the PINBALL WIZARDS! - KANJI - 2006-10-28
Interestingly, after some months hanging out here, I happened to find the button MEMBERS (yes, believe or not!) And there we all are listed for our hits in the Review section--except for maybe Fabrice. So I want to congratulate TATOEBA and ONLY1TANUKI (could there be two?) for reaching the gallactic totals of 50,000+ hits, numbers that Pinball Wizards would envy.
Maybe some others out in the frontier like me were unaware of this list. It's fine by me and its fun like a pinball tournament. It would be even more fun if TATOEBA and ONLY1TANUKI would double their output by next year. Surely then we could have added to the site lots of bells and whistles or perhaps even the Review section simulating a pinball game!!
Music blarring as you blaze through the flashcards:
"The pinball wizard's got something up his sleeve. How do you think he does it? I don't know. What makes him so goo-d?"

I'm in there, "fuaburisu". I was beginning in PHP programming when I created the website so back then I wasn't sure how to allow japanese characters into the usernames.
The original intent of the member's list is not to rank people, but rather show who are the most active members. Seeing the average kanji total to review total ratio is interesting as well. I think anywhere between 12000-15000 reviews upon finishing RTK 1 is reasonable.
You have to remember that was the only hint of community andactivity on the website, before the forum was added, and even before the Study area! Somwhere in between the Study area addition and the forum I also added the "Reviewing today" list on the home page (when you are logged in). Even myself I had little idea of the activity on the website without seeing this.
Tatoeba and only1tanuki do review a lot. I did email both and they're doing fine.
I think only1tanuki was preparing for a JLPT test, and he used the review area for checking his memory on kanji readings. Which explains partly why he has so many reviews.
As for tatoeba he was able to review any time of the day on his mobile phone, pretty cool huh? Unfortunately he emailed me to say that this didn't work anymore since the review page was upgraded into "ajax". Downgrading the review page was not an option, since the "ajax" requests to the server (each time you move to the next card) amount to nearly 50 times less bandwidth. I suggested him to use a newer version of the Opera browser on his mobile, like Opera 9.0 but I have no news since, so I dont know it kanji.koohii 's review area currently works on a mobile phone or not.
By the way, kurojohn was the first person on the members list who completed RTK3, and he used to be at the top of the member's list for quite a while. It was him who provided me with the list of RTK3 keywords, when he finished RTK1.
I really ought to add paging to that list.. *sigh*

I did always wonder what the point of that page was. Especially as it is quite long and only set to get longer.
I know what you mean by playing with stuff though. I've just spent my evening playing with MySQL and have written some functions to automatically convert verbs into their various bases. Getting things to work in UTF-8 was pretty tough but now I have a pointless page of just over 100 verbs. Now I just need to think of something to do with this new found skill...

Apparently the latest version of the browser it uses (NetFront) does however. I guess I'll just have to hope Sony upgrades it soon! It does support Flash 6 though.Wikipedia page on the PSP web browser...
