Maybe, but the PBBS folks don't seem to understand the value of the "hook." They look like they've got a lot of useful bits, but there's not an easy avenue for you to dive in and explore what that means.

I've never even played the "game" part of the CLBG, but there's still a whole nother layer of data porn, voyeuristic comparison wanking that draws you in. Heck, even the divisiveness of showing two numbers is enough to drive interest, cause nobody likes seeing their number worse, and everybody secretly loves knowing their choice was right.
