It is interesting to note how the rate of movie publications has stayed the almost same at all times.
Also, everyone's total post count, as requested by Tub:

What happened around September 2006? It looks like # published movies go from 600 to 700 in just a day. And what's up with January-July 2004? There are two different red lines around that area, and overall, the graph looks really weird there...

History revival project. I inserted ≥85 movies into the database. Those movies were old movies that were published at Nesvideos, and later obsoleted, before the creation of the Wiki-based engine that kept old entries still accessible.

Those were the said historical movies that were inserted.
They were inserted in September 2006 and got numbers in the 600…700 range, but originally published in January-July 2004.
Re: weirdness, the low-end numbers look kind of fuzzy because back then, the movies were not numbered (or rather, ordered) by their publication date, but by an arbitrary order. So movie #1 was published later than movie #2, for example. Only after they were imported to the new site engine, successive publications got successive numbers, save for the history revival movies.
Wow! It seems that I wrote Bag's early posts! Cool!
Thanks for the bugreport. It has been fixed now.
PS: DO NOT ROBOT the generator or iterate it through a set of numbers. It consumes several seconds of CPU time per uncached request, increasing the database load and making the site slower.

Reading your graph, I'd say that the red line is inversely proportional to your post counter.(!) Observe also that the moment when your posting rate decreased in ~may 2007, conincides precisely with the moment when the "integrity" stopped descending.¡
Also, re: faith in the users, my concern was mainly with the server load, nothing moderation-related this time.

It goes something like this. You compare the date a movie was published, I used the date here:
with the date a post was posted.
Find how many posts are older than the movie and put it in a spreadsheet. Then in the address bar increment ### by 1 until a movie with a more recent date is found, and then count more posts etc. Stop when ### is 1000.

I know you can do it like that. I just didn't think anyone would/could be bothered to do that kind of laboursome work manually. Guess I was mistaken.
EDIT: Especially when there's something like http://tasvideos.org/SiteTechnology/API.html in the existence.
Here are a few reasons why I did not use that:
1. I did not know that page existed. <-- This is a pretty important reason
2. As far as I know I don't have a user key. I'd rather just do it by hand than send you a pm and wait a week for a reply.
3. I don't know any programming language.
