Annual City Hit List

Time for the Annual(!) City Hit List. This USED to be quarterly, but when the hits died down, it went to annually. And then I plain forgot the last 2 years! The numbers in () are the number of hits since the last survey. Interesting to note how the numbers have dropped off, as the first table represents 3 years versus just 1 year for the bottom table.

Most positions were unchanged from 2011. There were only changes where 18, 19 and 20 juggled positions. Winnipeg looks strong, but that number is artificially inflated with a ton of illegal hits which I can't delete until I get access to the code. Calgary continues to outperform Edmonton, but at current rates will take a long time to catch up!

RE: Winnipeg and it's illegal hits.
I'm very curious about this, as I believe, I am only 1 of a few who actually enter notes from the city.
Can you PM me to explain??

There are 2 users (or one user, two handles) who have turned it into a joke. One enters new bills, the other hits them. This was about a year ago, and I haven't seen too much of it since.

Thanks for the reply.
It's a shame that someone has to spoil it for the rest of us.
Thankfully, since it's been about a year ago, they (he/she/them) are no longer.

(I also have to say that some of "my" hits have had some very "different" comments, again they make fun of it. Destroys the integrity of true tracking.)
But, alas, we cannot control what others put as a comment.

Tears well up in my eyes as I read a report that
10 years ago would have had far more hits since last report then the dismal 711 shown. Thanks for the report Pooga …

On another note did anyone else see the forum message from Idjit??? One of his 11 year old bills got a hit this week …just goes to show how long bills can become sleepers. Makes a person truly wonder where these bills hide for 11 years and then resurface. Hidden in a wallet as emergency money or maybe from a Christmas card from long ago that was never removed from the card and packed away with Christmas decorations or maybe missed in a Christmas stocking for years…who knows if only bills could talk.
