it would be nifty if it also said our position in the standings

I thought about that but the problem that all of that stuff is calculated on the fly rather than on a semi-regular basis (say, every 15 minutes). So, in order to display that, I would have to figure out the "top lists" and find out where each user stands, or take it from a static place in the database, or something along that lines. Basically, to make a long story short, using the current setup, it increased the time taken to display the main page to a time which I felt was too long. In the future, perhaps we can do it, but then all the top ten lists won't be "up-to-date to the second". It's all about trade offs, I guess. :)
