So the site linking just had a breakdown. This site apparently had -639 challenges added, with 2 challenges now. Updating this site leads to a database error. Is this problem known?

Yes, the site api was updated to present the optimal output(added Global rank and User count) which has caused this breakage. I will email gizmore. Thanks!

If you have not solved a challenge, the implementation sorts you as not ranked and returns that message.
There were a lot of spam-generated users on the site so only users who have solved a single challenge are counted.

Makes sense.
It was an oppurtinity to add error display for pwn.college
With the new score script, usercount and challcount are recorded, for graphs, showing how the site grows.
Is it correct that every challenge solved equals one point?
Happy Challenging!

Yes, the scoring system is very simple, one challenge solve equals one point.
