Just some observations regarding the above detailed "record" games. All of those games were "Standard" Rules games, i.e. without the inclusion of the special damages chits, which probably led to the higher scores in those games as opposing planes were probably staying up longer then they would in an Advance game.
As such, and I know that you are tired, and you probably don't want to increase your workload on what is a voluntary activity on your part, but it seems to me that the only records that should count should be those records obtained in "Advanced" games, with all of the special damages available. Those are the truly distinguished games, the ones with all of the peril involved!
In some ways, perhaps this suggestion may lessen your work load as you would only have to consider "advanced" games for record purposes.
Thoughts?

I do agree this records part take me a lot of time but also fun to do it. As TnT said, forget about the stat but enjoy the site, sometimes I even think of why someone would like to spoil the system.
Until one day I found that instead of complaining, y not creating the environment my own? Others may take an easy path to do some clone and cheat the system (I also create a special pilot imdogSuper to try for breaking the stats, but I give up in the half way), I browse thr all (nearly) the msg in the forum and compose the records that is write inside. It is the 1st version of the unoffical Youplay Record u find in the Oct 04.
It was fun but a bit tired to do so. Dozen of pilots do contribute to the records and make it an asset of Youplay. (May be even the webmaster found it useful ) More people aware of the records, ...until one day they wish to "cheat" this system as well. And they did!!
Personally I was also in doubt how can a "single" pilot suddenly break the 3 players, 6 players, 7 players, 8 players and 9 players record in the same time. (I do think he/she wish to break the 10 players record, but he can't as it is an gulliver scenario Abandoned by the scenario master long time ago) However I was too tired at that period of time and do an investigation myself.
But as those old bird said, a person may fool another one (like me ) for a life or fool the group at "one" time, but never the whole group of people forever. The cheats is identified by the ACE (bare human eyes)
System is always perfect, only if they stand infront of their creator 
For the time being, here is requirement for records claimed in the future unofficial record
1. Human finished advanced game (automove won't count , am I too strict??) 2. no clone, cheat, and reported Abnormal behaviour in the game (like radio msg?)
Originally I wish to also put another requirement that the joining pilot must be active (move in last month > 50) and even tougher Completed game > 30. But that is too harsh for newbie, isn't it?
Would like for your comment
