I was playing some taiko and I somehow moved up 5k, did osu delete some old account or something?
That's about right. People that haven't played Taiko/CTB for several months but are active on other gamemodes were still included in the taiko/ctb rankings until this happened, their profile/stats for taiko/ctb got switched to inactive (untill they play the mode again of course), meaning that many people moved up a bunch of ranks from seemingly out of nowhere. Marking this resolved.Sleepteiner wrote:
I heard that there was a big inactivity removal wave. I assume that a bunch of people who haven't played in a while got taken off of the leaderboards all at once.
This also happened in Catch the Beat, apparently.
