Others are quite happy with the term, and may use it refering to themselves. The term is also used more generally in a light-hearted, dismissive sense for people who are concerned with improving their personal statistics in any walk of life, or Newgrounds in particular. A less negative term for someone interested in their statistics might be a Stat Enthusiast.
