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.
