For last month's rankings:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/128719The first number is the October rank, followed by the name of the game. In parentheses is the ranking change compared to September followed by the trajectory (based on rank in August, September, and October). At the bottom of both lists are the 10 games which had the largest positive and negative trajectories.
The trajectory makes use of 3 coordinates from the most recent three months which form a triangle. It basically measures the slope of a line drawn from the point two months ago (the "leftmost" tip of a triangle made by the 3 months), to the center of the "base" (i.e. the average) of the triangle formed by the coordinates of the current month and the month before it. This means that even if a game went down from the previous month, it could still have a positive trajectory.
This list is based off of the Distinct Users for October 2006,
