Except for all the no longer active accounts who are no longer looking for anything. I also doubt even active members edit their wanted list very often. Too much old data. Really, people are still clamoring for TZ?

Further thought has me discounting TZ, etc. even more. Think how many of these wish lists were entered before a lot of more modern games even existed. That skews it terribly right off the bat.

Other than WOZ (2013), the newest games on that Top 20 are from 2003 (TSPP and LOTR). All the rest are old Williams/Bally.

I wonder how different that list would look if it only considered wish lists entered or edited within the last year (or something).

I see the site does record when a game is added to your wish list. So a date cutoff is possible. But a database query that counts all your wishes as long as one of them was entered in the past year is as close as we can get. Unless Robin has it saving old entries, marking them internally as removed with a removal date, then a query could also count all your entries if one was removed in the past year, to cover those that have removed entries but not added any. We would still lose those whose lists simply haven't changed in so long, but the result would still reflect reality better than "everyone still wants TZ, TAF, MM, ZZZZZZzzzzzzz....."

Number produced / Number of Wants might be an interesting metric.

Examples:

TZ: 15235/1877 = 8.1 exist for every want
TAF: 21270/1773 = 12 exist for every want
R&M: 750/290 = 2.6 exist for every want
Fathom: 3500/560 = 6.25
CV: 2704/1057 = 2.56

My takeaway: no wonder R&M keeps going up in price! It rivals CV, which has been around 20 times longer!
