Congratulations! That's pretty cool.
I never knew that website existed. How do they know?

they have an agreement with groundspeak to pick off the information. Of course, number of "finds" doesn't mean as much when people are allowed to post multiple finds for a single GC number. But, that's a different subject.

Darn, if i knew about the 200 mark I might have worked a little harder this past week lol. Oh well, maybe I can get a few numbers during this week and get the rest in OK next weekend. 
If you're not living on the edge you're just taking up space.

We went over the two hundred mark and we're not on there.

As with any program, there are glitches.
From his FAQs on the site:
Question: Where does the basic data used on these pages come from?
Answer: There are a relatively small number of high profile caches that are downloaded periodically. The stats for the cachers that have visited those caches are extracted and used for updating the basic data you see on these pages.
Question: What constitutes a "high profile" cache?
Answer: The simple explanation is it is a cache that is visited regularly, has a large number of total visits, and the visits are typically successful.
Question: I know I have more than 200 cache finds but I'm not listed. Why?
Answer: Again, because I am using selected caches to determine your cache finds, you may not have gotten to one of those caches yet. Send me an email with your caching nickname and I will adjust the caches being used so that you appear in the listings. Contrary to popular belief, I am not an ogre. I'm really a pussycat but don't tell anybody. It would totally ruin my reputation.
