Servers are ranked by a 0 to 100 score built from member count on a log scale (up to 60 points, full marks at ten million), the share of members online when counted (up to 25 points, full marks at one in four) and how recently those numbers were read (up to 15 points, full marks within 7 days and none after 90), using only the parts that were reported; it does not measure how good a server is.
