So I was going through the list of the users with most videos and I noticed that the top 2 people had somehow (maybe uninteltionally) managed to hack/bug their profile stats..

Oh my goodness. Same number of Videos.
It's possibly a glitch. Possibly.

Well, all their videos are embed videos from youtube. None uploaded. Might have something to do with that?

Database anomaly. This is what happens when bad code lets an unsigned datatype go negative. It wraps the value to the max value of the datatype minus one.

Wow, Bill...sadly I understood that. Few years ago, that would've confused the crap out of me. Where did all those years go? lol
Okay, I saw that one coming. Hmm, it explains why I like sniper rifles so much. Manipulative?

@Bill: Oh yeaaah! That's so true. :P
Why didn't I think of that? xD

But the thing is, how did these guys manage to get -1 videos? o_O

I'm assuming some "bad code", like I mentioned. No idea on specifics, though.
