A single, never-updated, never-repeated scoreboard of group-chat message counts posted by Evan Bbbender on 2026-02-08 and treated by the chat as the only such scoreboard that has ever existed.
The 420 Blaze It Leaderboard is the only formal census of contribution to the Newfound Glory Hole that has ever been conducted. It was published by Evan Bbbender in a single message on 2026-02-08, at a moment when the chat was approximately 27 days old, and recorded the following standings:
<!-- HOEN-IMG-BEGIN -->"420 blaze it leaderboard Evan: 221 Kyle: 275 Matt: 69 Cullen: 198 Dan: 5 Max: 2 Brian: 23" — Evan Bbbender, 2026-02-08
Reception
The leaderboard received no formal acknowledgment from any other member. No subsequent revision has ever been issued. This is the only message in the corpus in which all seven active members are named in one place, and as such serves as the chat's de facto founding census.
Historical use
The leaderboard is used by this encyclopedia to disambiguate the identity of Matt, whose iMessage handle (+1-971-***-0657) is not present in the available macOS Contacts database. Matt's position in the leaderboard (4th of 7, with 69 messages on day 27) is consistent with his subsequent message-volume trajectory over the next three months, and the score of 69 specifically is consistent with the chat's broader number-69 tradition. No other "Matt" appears anywhere in the corpus.
Notable scores
- Kyle Derrick, 275. The leaderboard's leader as of 2026-02-08. Kyle has remained the most reliable per-day poster throughout the chat's life, although Evan Bbbender has lapped him on cumulative volume.
- Daniel Miller, 5. A historically low score, consistent with the slow start to Daniel's chat participation. By May 2026, Daniel has crossed 600 messages and is the chat's Posting Laureate.
- Max Lieberman, 2. Max's score on 2026-02-08 anticipates his enduring Lurker status, which he has maintained more or less throughout.
Echo
The phrase "420 blaze it" recurs only one more time in the corpus, on 2026-04-29, when Daniel Miller posts the phrase alone and receives a love-tapback from Evan. The encyclopedia interprets this as an intentional anniversary observance and an acknowledgement of the leaderboard's institutional weight.
