Why does BYOND count Unlisted games as "live" games?
I mean they're supposed to be unlisted because BYOND rejects them...right?
It says 179 games live but when i checked the number of live games on the website, i only found 35. -_-'
No reason realy to show the unlisted games as live games if we can't find them.
If they didn't count the RIPs / Unlisted Games as "Live Games" the site would make BYOND even more unattractive due to the lack of "online games", you just have to take a look, you'll only find a page or two of live games listed on BYOND.

The numbers are drawn from the hub/pager intercommunication system directly; getting the numbers alone is a lot easier and more efficient than doing all of the checks necessary to exclude things of specific listing status and whatnot.

I'm sure Tom, Lummox or Nadrew could chip in with a more detailed explanation, but ultimately I don't think it makes a massive difference what it's including in that count.
