Scroll through the Leaderboard and other thoughts on the gamification of Thwack

Is there a way to scroll through the leaderboard? In the current view i can see the people near me but I want to see the points difference for people who are in 100 above me or maybe the top 1000 or top 100, etc. I know I can see the top 10 but there points are crazy high so I'm wondering what it would take to maybe crack the Top 100?

Since this is a gamification kind of things, it would also be cool to see little up and down arrows beside user names to see how they are trending. This would let me see how many people are passing me and how many other people are being passed.

while I'm thinking about it, I would also like to know how long someone has been a member or there last update so I know if I'm passing people who are actively using Thwack or if it was someone who hasn't used it in years. oh! so maybe a chart showing the weeks biggest movers?

terryedwards519‌ You should create a feature request for these. (make a separate feature request for each different idea... help you with your gamification... )

You can actually see some of these things already, but mostly at a super low level. And, you would have to go to, and click through, each and every user, which is way too much work. These all seem like fun and useful ways to stir up the competition.

Personally, though, I would like to see them completely separate the gaming points from the community service points, giving everyone 2 different types of rankings. This way everyone can tell which users are ranked for providing content and information, and those who participate in the daily/weekly/monthly events and contests. I'm not saying one is better, or more important than the other, as both sides together, make up this super awesome site.

Anyway... like I was saying... I will vote your feature requests up, if you make them.
