Every number, and where it came from
This page is built from the same rows the scoreboard counts — real, paid orders and nothing else. It includes the numbers that do not flatter us, because a stats page you cannot embarrass is a stats page nobody has any reason to believe.
The totals
Contributors, all time
1
Distinct people, not orders. Give three times and you are counted once.
Gifts, all time
1
One paid order, one gift.
Gifts this week
0
Current season, 2026-W42. Resets to zero when the week closes.
Refunds, all time
0
How many gifts were given back. A count, not an amount — see the note below.
The two lines we could have quietly folded into the total
Seed money and refunds are what a scoreboard normally nets out where nobody can see it. They get their own lines here, permanently.
Seed money
0 gifts
Money the operator put in themselves to open the board, so the mechanic could be seen working before anyone else had paid anything. Shown as a count rather than an amount, like every other figure here. It is money put in rather than taken, flagged as seed in the database, on the live feed and on this line, and it is the only money here that is not a fan's. That is also why it is exempt from the daily limit. Every other dollar on this board is a real, paid order from a real person.
Refunds, all time
0
0% of all gifts
How many gifts have been given back. Published as a count rather than an amount: how often a refund actually happens is what tells you they are real, and the money figure would have handed you this site's lifetime revenue by subtraction. While a week is live, a refund lowers that week's pool immediately. After a week closes, the money still goes back but the frozen record of that week does not change; that rule is spelled out on the rules page.
Where the fans are
Country comes from the billing address our payment processor sends with each order, not from an IP lookup and never from anything you did not type into a payment form. Some payment methods return none at all.
| Country | Contributors | Gifts |
|---|---|---|
| Spain ES | 1 | 1 |
Every week, since the first one
A closed week is frozen: its crown is stored as a snapshot and is never recomputed. A week in which nobody contributed closes with no crown at all — it does not go to whoever happens to sort first. Who won each week is on the Hall of Fame, one week at a time.
| Week | Crown |
|---|---|
| 2026-W41 | no crown |
| 2026-W40 | no crown |
| 2026-W39 | no crown |
| 2026-W38 | no crown |
| 2026-W37 | no crown |
| 2026-W36 | no crown |
| 2026-W35 | blink |
Full standings, records and crowns per fandom are on the Hall of Fame .
What this page does not show
- The lifetime total. How much has been given since the board opened is not published, and it used to be. Saying so rather than quietly dropping the number, because a page that removes a figure in silence is doing the exact thing this page exists not to do. What stays is everything that lets you check the board is honest without knowing that figure: how many people have given, how many gifts, how often a refund happens, where fans are, who won each week, and how far apart the fandoms are on the board — which is what a scoreboard is for.
- What we keep. The payment processor's fee comes off every order, and what is left pays for the site and for the person running it. The exact fee per order is recorded in our database but is not published here yet. The about page says plainly where the money goes.
- Anything that identifies you. No names, no email addresses, no order ids, no IP addresses and no per-person amounts. The contributor count is a count of distinct salted email hashes, and we cannot turn one of those back into an address. See privacy.
- Any amount of money. Not the total, not the week, not a single gift. Every figure on this site is a count of people or of gifts, or a position on the board. The one exception is the amount on your own receipt and your own card, which is yours and nobody else's. That is a deliberate change and it cuts both ways: you can still check that the board is real, and you cannot check it against a dollar figure, because there is not one to check.
- Estimates or projections. Nothing here is modelled, smoothed or padded. A count is a count of rows that exist.
- The very last second. This page is cached briefly, so it can trail the live counter on the board by a few seconds. The board is the live number; this page is the audit.
Two limits shape every number above: nobody can give more than $50 in any rolling 24 hours, and any gift can be refunded within 72 hours with no questions asked. Both are described in full on the rules page.
