Hmmmm ... Waited almost the gestation period of a human baby before I joined, mostly to raise the quality and quantity of Perl answers. Haven't been very active recently.
As user 100,754, I am ranked in the top 0.12%, current #830 based on 2,139 answers and 33 questions

Some of my useful answers get no upvotes: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18162345/100754 https://stackoverflow.com/a/18162345/100754
And some just keep accumulating :-)

Now, if you look on the ranking pages, you'll see the following table:
Total Rep* Users
-----------------------
100,000+ | 1,007
50,000+ | 2,879
25,000+ | 7,533
10,000+ | 23,325
5,000+ | 50,374
3,000+ | 85,384
2,000+ | 125,638
1,000+ | 229,491
500+ | 398,573
200+ | 675,767
1+ | 14,875,253
So, the site has 14+ million users with no real activity and the percentile ranking is based on users with 200+ points.

- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoEventually you choose "Sign-in with Google"
- zerocrates 5y agoThe compression of the top end of the ranking among active/once-active users is pretty extreme (or rather, I guess it's probably more a factor of just how many people are at the low end of the scale): I have around 1/4 your reputation but that's still good for "top 0.91% overall". I have a similar experience though, I haven't been active for many years, and have a handful of very simple answers to common problems that still make the reputation graph pretty linear.
- waydowntogo 5y agoI was there a few months and I had 20-30 points. I left because of grammar nazis. My point is the no real activity is bad intepretion of this chart.
