Heavy weights like suchmoon, Lauda, achow101, The Pharmacist got removed from DT1. Tbh I don't expect to stay there for a very long time.

achow101 is a core developer (or contributor) as far as I know. Why did he get removed is beyond me. If he doesn't deserve to be a DT1 member, why the fuck do I?

Anyway I am happy to be included in DT1 but tbh I don't really care. Actually, I don't want to care.

Being a DT member gets you into drama. I don't want any of it.

They will comeback in no time again. Whats wrong with achow101? I never seen him in the drama.

That's my question. What's wrong with suchmoon? I don't understand why they got removed.

Theymos picked a random selection of 100 users from all the eligible ones, that this month happened to be 111.
So no ad-personam actions, supposedly: just randomness.

Yes, fillippone's explanation here is accurate.

From the start of this year's changes in the trust system, theymos had been saying that he would be employing a kind of randomness, once the eligible DT1 list got above 100, so this month, since the eligible list was merely 111 (only 11 above 100), thus only 11 members would be randomly removed from becoming or being added to DT1, and therefore inclusion/exclusion from DT1 is mostly likely currently, once you are eligible, but there is a bit less than 11% chance that an eligible member would not go on the list this month.

Of course, with the passage of time, the number of eligible DT1 is going to go up as more and more members update their trust lists, so at some point in the likely relatively near-term future, eligible DT1 members are going to have less than 50% chance of actually being included in DT1 for any particular month.

Seems a bit ingenious (or at least creatively interesting) to me.... (recent substantively relevant post here, by theymos) even though I still question the extent to which DT actually adds value to the forum, rather than contributing to some kind of semi-quasi-irrelevant popularity contest... which might even unwittingly contribute to the enabling of long cons, in certain circumstances.

It's random:

More than 100 would be selected, so a random subset of eligible users will be chosen each month to bring it down to 100. This month 111 users were eligible.

Yes... this response largely succinctly answered the question, too, and concedingly before mine..... Cry

Apparently its a max of 100 DT1 each month so every month some people will rotate in & then out.

Another GREAT (am I exaggerating, here?) point, more tersely, preceding my own.

My girlfriend had what turned out to be an ant trapped in her ear. And it was one of the bitey ants. We tried to drown it with olive oil like the internet says, but that only made it mad. So she insisted we go to the hospital, which was a waste of money as the doctor couldn't get it out. Try not to go to a hospital in the Philippines if you have the option.

The thing eventually died about 24 hours later, but only after it had bitten the shit out of her ear. She had bleeding and temporary hearing loss... All is good now though. Just thought I would share that fun story with you.

for foreign objects in the ear, an ear nose and throat doctor is the go to solution (they have the tools and expertise to not damage the eardrum). and bugs in the ear are a priority appointment, call and tell them they will get you in that day. im surprised the ED didnt refer you to one.

They did, that's immediately who they sent us to (ENT guy). They doctor couldn't get it out but thats OK because the situation resolved itself within 24 hours.

Only one problem with this: nothing is truly random. I'll believe its random when I see Og fall off for a month.

Theymos gave his explanation as to why he chose randomly selecting members and its sounds a bit weird, but whatever.

Exactamente!!! In theory, Ognasty and even theymos should NOT be part of DT1 from time to time for some random upcoming months. I would speculate that theymos did not exclude any member from such randomness, including himself.
