It should be easy to create a new web page with only the missing information requested that was the table at end of the previous game in progress page. :roll:

Then create the link of this web page and put it some where in BGA site. 8-)

I agree that loss of the old in-progress stats for all games is terrible.
But, when life gives you lemons....

I'm sure this page was visited quite often by hobbysts, it was quite useful to see games popularity, what were the hits/flop. Not mentioning it was a convenient where you could easily see at a glance which game were good for real-time, and which weren't..
This.

We used it to check out games we're considering to add to the allround league.

If it's to see popular games, you have a filter on the game list : https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?isPopular=

I can't take a collection of pictures where it's not obvious what the tag "popular" is based on seriously.

It seems to be the exact same list in the same order as the old one, isn't it ?

How would I know, i can't see the old one.

Also I can't see any graduation. Is it one game being played overwhelmingly much and the next are all about the same? Is item 20 close to item 2 or rather close to item 200? I have no idea.

Miss the Games in Progress page, totally favourite page on the site.

Kind of like seeing what is hitting the top 40, and seeing how games far down games are that I love but are less well known or played (Fleet, Space Station Phoenix.....)

I find it frustrating not having something like this any more, because I want to know how many people are playing games live. I only come here for live games, and I'd like to know if anyone is playing a game I'm interested in. Otherwise I'm going to be wasting my time waiting for someone to join a table I start, and wasting time learning a game I'm never going to get to play. 😕
