belongs to Aeldra.
For those who are interested, I will not reveal who I am....
But you should know this.
Proof 1:
https://web.archive.org/web/20211201054233/https://metin2pserver.net/
(Aeldra has been supporting Toplist since the beginning, even though they didn't get any traffic through it).

The font of the logo (compare logo of Toplist and Aeldra) is identical, in general you can tell that the same person is working on both projects.
Proof 3:
Source Codes.
Compares Toplist and Aeldra, both have identical source code profiles.
Both even have partial copy & paste work, like "<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="assets/img/fav.png" />" --- that so much code is 1:1 identical, and since this is manually entered code, is certainly no coincidence.
Proof 4 - the best:
Go to Aeldra's website, and go all the way down. In the footer, where are the links, highlight everything. You will then find a hidden text "metin2 p server toplist" which links to the .net toplist. This is to promote their own toplist, in SEO. In case they removed it in the meantime, here is the archived proof:

Apparently the high user count and No. 1 is not enough for them, now they also want to have their own No. 1 toplist, and then control everything that has to do with Metin2 - meaning us.
Just want to inform you about it, think it's good to know that belongs to Aeldra. If Aeldra's toplist becomes No 1, they get full power over the Metin2 scene. They will then decide which competition is allowed and which is not. They will surely downgrade or ban big servers, unlike the other toplist, where a lot of people might use bots but at least no admin really cares. Which is better in that regard after all. Also in the other toplist all is made by cron, suspicious votes cause loosing votes and so on, as I remember there is no admin even active or doing anything. But on .net toplist, there is a very active admin.. Aeldra..
