Ok, I have put the +1 numbers under the profile. It was not the root cause - we were under a DDoS attack, going on intermittently for a few days now. 

Not sure it's fixed completed. Not a biggie at all, I only know because a few days ago I hit 1001 but now back in the 900s :)

Usual stats are back! Yay!!

1eStar: What we need is a quotient score based on +1s divided by number of posts. Would be a great metric of credibility.

Adjusted for inflation caused by increasing number of users. Elo rating anyone?

That score-count probably reflects more the number /ratio of glib one liners and popular opinions posted rather than a guide to expertise, credibility etc.

Seriously - don't believe me.
