May 17, 2014 at 6:51 comment added Martin Sleziak @S.Carnahan Well, there might have been some mix-up when moving from old MO to the SE network, which would make date from reputation leagues unreliable. But since the numbers there seem to be rather similar to the numbers in the screenshot, I'd guess that they are probably correct.
May 17, 2014 at 6:29 comment added S. Carnahan Mod @MartinSleziak Wow, I had not realized that Greg had gained 7000 points in one month.
May 15, 2014 at 6:18 comment added Martin Sleziak BTW since MO joined SE you can also view top users at some moment in the past using reputation leagues. For example, here are top users from Dec 2009. Comparing with the snapshot you posted, it seems to be around the same time. (Although this shows the reputation from Dec 2009, but badges are shown from the present.)

Oct 16, 2013 at 20:31 comment added Gil Kalai Dear Quid, yes this is indeed a famous story that will be told from fathers to sons. I am afraid I was involved with Andrew's silver and gold best badges. The badge system is a wonderful way for multi-dimensional appreciation systems where every user can even define his own peculiar aims.
