Note that the lack of min/max data for Shadows of Isildur suggests the average number is likely an estimate rather than calculated, and may be out of date or outright wrong.

The other muds are usually checked daily I believe, so they may be inaccurate if the MUDStats bot happens to log on during your off-peak hours. Some listings are checked hourly (as you can see from the "Charts & Graphs" tab for Aardwolf), but I think MUDStats only does this if you support . If you feel MUDStats is unfairly representing your mud you might want to consider supporting MSSP (it also gives other information, which crawlers can use to update mud listings, but I don't think any do that yet).
