USERS FORUM STATISTICS
This is quite another way the number 120 plays a role on the forum, because as an active forum member, a user’s account statistics is always given in reference to the past 120 days, which gives a summary information about the user’s performance, merit sent and received within that period of time.

That limitation is meant to reduce server load.

Here you go: https://bitcointalk.org/merit.txt.xz

Similar to trust.txt.xz, it'll be updated weekly. It will show only the last 120 days of data; someone else should archive the old ones if you want them.

So in conclusion, these are but a few ways I personally observed how the number 120 plays some significant role on the forum.

It indeed seems like theymos like to use 120 (more or less 4 months) for forum limits.

I'm now curious who user 120 was Cheesy
