You actually said what I've always been thinking but thought it was too mean and ungrateful to say, but now that it's brought up, I couldn't give less of a shit if we never heard the chart positions of every song on the front page ever again. Every morning I check the board and see all those bumped topics and at first I'm pleased cause I have a lot to read and then I realize what it is and I'm bitterly disappointed. Seems pretty useless too, since half the time nobody takes it as a point of discussion anyway. The numbers change so frequently it doesn't seem to really matter one way or the other what it is tomorrow as opposed to today. A week from now, maybe, but other than that, a waste of time and energy. At least Reception posts song links which are far more useful.

Don't be hating on roentgenizdat! Song positions are not the only things he keeps us updated with. He lets us know when a new video will premiere and how much a band's album has sold. He serves a purpose. Its useful information to some of us.

Links to sales figures and video premieres aren't stickied at the top of this page, though.
But yeah, when I'm in here following a discussion or debate about a certain song, and find upon refreshing the board that additional post(s) have been made in the topic, only to find out that it's just a Mediabase update with no subsequent commentary or opinion, and that no prior posts had been made since the last one I'd read, it's a letdown, plain and simple.
Furthermore, numerous "updates" over a short period of time could send a fairly active topic and stop it dead in its tracks by pushing it off onto page two.
