>>47950262>Can I ask how the tally was formed? When did it began? How did you all had a bright idea to compete numbers with theseYou can take this as a first hand account of the person that came with it or as some anon trying to pull your leg, that's the nature of an anonymous board.
For narrative sake, assume I am the anon that makes the tally and that I am tell you what happened.
All the way back in September 2021 this thread (in it's current incarnatin) was in its infancy.
VNUMA had died but, even before that most of the numbers talk was middle of the day VNUMA or ikioi screencaps with
>OH NO NO NO NO NO >X IS MOGGING Y (this hour) >WHAT SAYS YOU, <name of Y fanbase>TACHI!This humble anon decided to make one post a day with the top streams of the day to preempt the rest of the shitposts.
live-ranking had their cutting point at 1AM JST after which they would start the next day and so this anon followed.
Here is what I think is the first "tally of the day":
>>9715762https://warosu.org/vt/thread/S9715762#p9719283Maybe there are a couple of others but this is the first in more or less the current format.
After that it evolved a little. First it was taken from
https://live-ranking.userlocal.jp/archives-ranking, but then some sites started popping up.
First, it was only Holostats and Niji-Mado. Then Piyo came (and then died). Then vrabi, then vstats and it became what it is today, running without break for more than 550 days, likely from 587 days
And the only goal was to stop the catalog bait that dropped pretty much every hour or two
