Exactly how many .inp files are at the ztnet server ?
...........how many authors of those recordings ?
Are they zipped ?
How much space in gigabytes ?
Is there a back-up in case of electric power surge , blackout , virus ?

Can't remember the last count of inps.... somewhere around 40,000 or so?
Total size of the zipped recordings is not a lot more than 1GB.
Yes, there is a backup.

How many players at marp. 500+ ?
What day did this site start ?
I am gathering information to compile a sophisticated chart to aid in my comprehension.
Something like this...

Judging by the leaderboard, I count 874 accounts (which isn't necessarily the same as the number of individual players, cough cough Vaz)

6years x 365 = 2190
round up to 2200
40,000+
make that number
44,000 .inps divided by 2,200 days
an estimated 20 recordings submitted per day.
I wonder where the deleted .inps go ?
Are they included .

Strewth..... 6 years since I first started helping Zwaxy by reviewing inps? Is it really that long?! Those were the days..... when between the 2 of us we could keep all inps reviewed and confirmed..... Of course it wasn't so automated back then - I had to e-mail Zwaxy my confirmations until he got sick of the e-mails and gave me confirming rights.
Oh the memories......
Pat.

Ah, the memories... I remember e-mailing Zwaxy Bubble Bobble inps.
Life was simpler then, no ass-whippings from japanese players back then.
