I have noted that my valid w/u`s count seems to be fluctuating, on several occasions it has reached 5300 w/u`s are marked valid, but then starts to drop, is this normal???? as the heading says, just curious. Example, this morning it said 5300 w/u`s valid but a short while after reported 5299 w/u`s valid, it can sometimes drop be as many as 20 plus w/u`s.

My overall credit does not drop however, just seems odd to me though.

As the units get moved offline the numbers will drop, there's no way they can keep all those units online for EVERYONE to see and still keep the project alive, the database size and costs to maintain it would be HUGE.
