Just numbers, if anyone legitimately gets buttsore that there's a new leaderboard that does not negatively affect them in any way then wowzers
That's what sucks about this community, people get mad when things happen that make other people happy or makes them feel important (reference the term "hat chaser" as example numero uno)

I like being #1 and winning stuff probably more than anyone on this game and even I really don't care if this or that was boosted or if someone is shown as a top rank for something they did or did not "earn," just have fun
The way the spar, PK, and BK boards are structured encourages activity and that's more important than anything else
