It's really hard to find new runners/games with the current sorting scheme. I am thrilled with all of the high playercounts, but I am also looking at the bottom of the list too.

Currently if you want to sort by all of the 0 runner games, you don't really get an accurate picture of the situation. It would be really helpful to know if someone has run something within a year or two. So having the ability to change this filter setting ourselves would be much appreciated.

I think that the "active runners" calculation doesn't work well towards the end of the list. These games might have active runners, but just because they don't have multiple runs submitted every single week means they have ZERO visibility. Heck I know some streamers don't even bother to submit their runs to leaderboards, or regular people that only submit new pb runs if they are satisfied with it.

So if someone wants to show that their community is active, basically all of the runners for that community should just submit a bunch of runs that are slower than their pb (which preserves the leaderboard) and a mod for that game can just approve them all.

TLDR: The Active Player System is gameable and inaccurate at the bottom of the list where lower activity levels are heavily weighed in discoverability. This greatly lowers the utility of the site. Having the default sort by active runners just seems a bit flawed without properly configuring it for the little guys too.
