Why even have separate lists? Why not just filters?

Quoted from prock:Why even have separate lists? Why not just filters?
and if you add some logic and sorts... give me the top games with 3 flippers made after 1990 and sorted by rank
Quoted from pinballholder:And what about historical lists...so you can see what the top 100 was in 2007 versus today, lol.
I still say custom filter and sorts would be the best. You could make links to pre-canned filter and sorts (e.g. for the top 100 DMDs, etc etc) for easy clicking from the main pinside pages. With custom lists you can grab your very own top 100 list (or even top 20) using the criteria you define! Don't want to include games with a CRT or LCD? Don't want to include EMs? Don't want to include games with average asking price over $X? etc etc... All can easily be done with custom filters.
Quoted from shimoda:Frankly I'd find it interesting to be able to customize a Top 100 based completely on filters.
For example, I'd like to be able to see the ranked top # of pins of any era - EM, SS, DMD (which I find funny because DMD are SS), LCD, CRT, OCD, ADD, whatever. For most people EMs and DMD era pins won't compete in the area of audio - chimes versus speech and background music/call-outs/etc. However, what if I just wanted to build a ranking based on peoples take on playfield layout - no art, no sounds, just straight play on the field? What if I wanted to see a ranking of games using playfield layout, 'fun', and playfield art, no backglass art or audio? It would mean a totally dynamic rank generator would have to be written for the site and perhaps an array of rankings could be listed including all eras based on specific components of the rating system. This is something I would find interesting.
Exactly! Great examples! Pinside already has all that data it would be great to put it to work!
