From the collection of data (bpip.org, and merit.txt.xz), creating of graphs and charts, and translating the data all of which takes up a lot of time and all I can say is that they are both helpful and highly informative to all users that is why this kinds of posts deserves a lot of merits. If you want to have merits not from your regular posts then no one is stopping you to create your own data analysis as all the data is already made available for all of the members here, you'll be surprise on how hard it is to do what they are doing.
