...what the term "have a George Score" actually means after the change.

It used to be that anyone with ten hits (and/or other mysterious criteria known only to the great magenta one) had a GS, and the count on the YB page included exactly those folks, while the rankings and the state directory included even folks who had no GS yet (though the directory listed a GS for them anyway).

But now the new, smaller number on the YB page is still labelled "users with a George Score". Under the old definitions, it'd be "users with a nonzero George Score". So is this just a slightly inaccurate label, or has the criterion of having at most 89 days of inactivity actually been added to the mysterious requirements for having a GS at all?

I think it may take Hank to answer this one.... I don't suppose it's of any real signficance, except to those of us who are obsessive about such things, i.e., at least half of everyone here. :)

What about it, Hank?
