Mike is the one who does all of that page. It is something he did on his own. It has not been totally up to date lately. I think his time has been taken up with work and other stuff.
You vote by going to someone's registry and clicking on the button that says "Vote for ****" You will not see the starts there, but they were suppose to be for where the name appears. lol Mike sees the votes.
The 10 most visited registers is done automatically. It is an overall number, so if someone signed up early, they have a head start. I have seen members change places on that list from time to time.
If a member is voted or is named SVX of the month, they are removed from that list and go to the archive of SVX of the month.
Hope that this helps. If any were not answered, let me know.
