3. JustOneCornetto 228
4. Bishop Briggs 199
5. Indale Winton 183
6. Blootoon87 151

7. chomp my root, sparky88, The_Craig 144
10. Arch Stanton 135
11. cdhafc1874 130

12. Bully Wee Villa, gkneil, Savage Henry 104
15. pawpar, Sweaty Morph 95
17. Florentine_Pogen 85
18. Desp, senorsoupe 50
20. Bert Raccoon, speckled tangerine, statts1976uk, ThomCat 39
24. Hamish's Passenger, Moomintroll, The DA 31

27. Everyone else 0
