What happened to the ability to see the most downloaded skins ever? Why has it been cut to the past 30 days?

I tricked it by changing the URL to 994, but its quite annoying.

Because admin wanted it like that, and it has been like that for a long time now.

At least the new 30-day version gives newer skins a slim chance to get listed.

The old "greatest hits" skins become virtually impossible to knock off the list, and some, Waiora 3000 for example, fall way short of today's standards and no longer merit such exposure. (could argue that Wiaora never deserved the mass exposure in the first place, it had unskinned pressed states for several years before finally being fixed in 2002. Didn't stop it getting a million downloads though

)
