That was fun! I spent about half an hour and came up with some entertaining numbers. (some are obvious, but just in case) Figures are from the online database.

Black Diamond = 10 (3 more near making it soon)
Diamond = 394
Gold = 636
Silver = 1666
Bronze = 2934 (under 250 DLs)
Base = 3246
Total = 8891

2706 Over 2500 DLs BRAVO! 30% of the contributors are Silver.

3787 Under 400 DLs

About 42% of the contributors haven't reached payout, which is lower than the often estimated percentage that "never reach payout". This may be because of IS higher standards for acceptance.

One user was funny, member since 2002, only 3 files, average 133 DL per file, or 399 total. I wonder what happens when he reaches $100?  Some Silver members had under 100 files in their collection.

This one was also interesting and great work.
Andrey Prokhorov - Exclusive Designer Ranked #54
Files: 293
Downloads: 88235
Average 301 DLs per file

All of this is subject to human error, bad notes, and erroneous button pushing on my part. For entertainment only.

What's the difference, we all know who the top ten are, and I praise them. By the time someone copies a shot, it's already sold out, or at least has a prime location in the search, so it's a waste of time.

As for my waste of time reading all the numbers, the names didn't matter anyway.  Waiting for my latest upload to be reviewed, I have to keep my fat little fingers working.

I want my name blanked out to save being embarrassed. Oh wait, maybe some of the names are people who don't want to be recognized as MicroStock shooters. Maybe that's the game? Lets see, the guy gets 8000 emails saying, Opt me out. Is he going to be busy or what?
