ChrisHB Sep 2018 8:58pm, 4 Sep 2018 17,113 posts	0 ChrisHB So far this year, 348 new zones, so I should get 500 in the year if my body plays nicely.
philip_m_jones Sep 2018 8:23am, 13 Sep 2018 151 posts	0 philip_m_jones Seems to be an odd leader on the owners leaderboard, I've messaged fetch. How far would you need to go to amass 123k zones? I find that in the middle of virgin country I get about a zone a mile. 1 bruno. 123726
McGoohan Sep 2018 8:26am, 13 Sep 2018 35,371 posts	0 McGoohan Ah, that happened last week with a different dormant user (runningnut). I don't think it's malicious - I think the zones have been accidentally allocated to user 0, probably after Fetch deleted them from the previous user 0, runningnut.
fetcheveryone Sep 2018 9:38am, 13 Sep 2018 19,839 posts	0 fetcheveryone Yeah, there's a rogue query somewhere that's assigning a user profile with an ID of zero - and it automatically takes ownership of all the zones that have "owner=0", rather than say "owner=137" (McGoohan)
McGoohan Sep 2018 9:40am, 13 Sep 2018 35,374 posts	0 McGoohan Does user 0 basically have the rest of the world then?
fetcheveryone Sep 2018 9:41am, 13 Sep 2018 19,841 posts	0 fetcheveryone Not the rest of the world, but just all the zones we've explored at one point or another, but which now have no owner - which in turn is largely due to the 12 month rule on ownership points, but also the occasional flouncer.
fetcheveryone Sep 2018 9:44am, 13 Sep 2018 19,842 posts	0 fetcheveryone By my reckoning, there are 162 million possible zones, if you could go everywhere.
Cerrertonia Sep 2018 9:51am, 13 Sep 2018 9,217 posts	0 Cerrertonia Perhaps one of the younger fetchies will one day run, cycle or swim away from Earth and open up a bunch more possible zones No GPS to record it though, so they'd need to create a route manually.
