Wait, do I have to resubmit my gamertag if I was on the previous list at all?

"We just got busted S.W.A.T. style
First, I must apologize. Before the creation of this Leaderboard, Newten and I spent alot of time planning out how it would look, work, and most importantly, how we would both be able to edit it. Our solution: Make an account we could both use to edit it. Due to our ignorance and the hope that it would go pass as an exception, the mods (quite rightly) banned the alt account. Although Newten and I are disappointed over this turn of events, I think this just shows the mods are doing a great job of enforcing the rules on these forums, whilst being helpful and informing by giving us suggestions how to fix this, for that I applaude them. Even though this leaderboard is currently still unlocked, it will be closed as soon as Newten and I have gathered all the nice work Newten has done for it. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience, I promise Newten and I will be working to figure out a solution to get the leaderboards back up in no time.
Apologetically, Gorillwhat"
aww, i wanted to add mine. :( (gt - Wardog Matty)
you guys should Leave the link to the mygamercard.net leaderboard and just copy paste like the top 50 everyweek or so from their leaderboard that automatically updates..........so you dont have to go in and manually update it............
It'll be much Easier to manage and if someone is not on the top 50 (........Or someone doesnt update it for a week), you can just click the link to see where you are on the list. ( top 50, because the then its more prestigious to be featured on the forum post, 100 is a bit too much)
Likes this - ( Copy - paste)
Thats what Jeff did with the 360voice group thing (just left the link)
Btw, Make it top 50, so its not a load on the forum. (sometimes it takes awhile to load all the cards) and if you post the link to the mygamercard leaderboard, people not on the 50 can still see where they are.
"Yeah we totally got busted. I always sort of knew in the back of my head that making NewtenAndGorillawhat was a big no-no, but hey. It was fun while it lasted. I think Gorillawhat has covered all of that business pretty well so I shall move on.We just got busted S.W.A.T. style

So, we are back to where we started; we both want to run the leaderboard together, but can't both edit the same post to keep the top 100 up to date.

I'll add your tag to the leaderboard after I post this.
As for leaving a link to the full leaderboard, we always have. You can get to it by clicking on the leaderboard card, as stated in the first post.
Copying and pasting the top 50 eh? Hmm... originally Gorillawhat posted the entire leaderboard in the thread, that was certainly too much and was getting out of hand, not to mention getting close to the limit of how much you can have in a single post. That was why I suggested the top 100 for this thread, it's very managable, looks good, and keeps users happy. Although I do see your point about it being a load on the forum.
I don't see the point of copying and pasting part of the leaderboard though, users may aswell just go to the full leaderboard if they want to see that. Having the cards from MGC allowed the top 100 to be a little different to the full leaderboard, it showed recently played games, status and also allowed us to colour them differently (so we could have the top 10 gold, next 10 silver, etc.) It also changes to often for it to only be updated once a week.
Hamz suggested that we make a guide that we could both edit and have the top 100 there. That is just about all we have come up with so far, so it will probably be that or we will just start a new thread and keep it the same only without the top 100, so users would have to go to MGC to see the leaderboard.
If anyone else has any ideas, shoot. We are all ears right now.
