Yep, for a long time they kept count for us and one day they just shut up shop and closed the doors forever, bit like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.
Slazenger, Area51, Area53, Area54, Erruption, Mind Plague, Thresher, Sheath, Broadside, Debt
If I had to guess, I'd say it was updating automatically from a list of enemy groups currently existing in the game.

In Paragon City since June 2005.

Yeah they worked for the first few years of the game. But I don't think they ever lived up to the expectations of what the Devs had in mind for them and as it turned out I don't think many people actually "used" them regardless. Leaderboards probably never had much purpose in a PvE MMO environment anyway.|

Like DarkGob said if they are getting updated now it's probably because they are connected to some automated part of the game. I don't think the Devs were planning to revive them anytime soon.

I actually liked them.
Every so often, if I was bored, I would go to an Info terminal to look for my name and sometimes would decide to get my name into the top ten. I'd run off to kill a bunch of Nemesis soldiers or some other group, just to see my name in lights. It was a nice little mini-game.
My recollection of why it was disabled was because RMT was using it to send e-mails and/or tells to folks on the list. If that was the reason, considering all the other preventative measures that have been put into place since then, I hope that the Devs do bring back the terminals.

, would it take much to flip a switch and turn em back on again?Maybe they could add a few other sub menu's to them as well, really spice them up
(threads earned, shards earned etc etc)

Ironically the only reason I used them was to see how much healing my friends and I did on our nightly heal farms back when the Empath badge took 1 billion HPs healed to get. 
Apart from the RMT concerns I also heard that the Devs were worried about how much of a load the terminals were putting on the servers. Not sure if that was really a factor but it makes sense given how completely they've given up on the concept. *shrugs*

I thought they were disabled because they caused a drag on the game. The database hit when accessing one of those terminals caused a zone-wide performance hit. So they were disabled. I might be wrong. I liked them as well.
I never heard that. That sounds like the reason they scrapped the City Vault.

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone knew why the info terminals are constantly being updated with new incarnate enemies, preatorian and so forth.
I was under the impression these will never be used again, so why are they constantly being updated?
P.s. Please tell me the devs have had change of heart and going to figure a way to activate these again.
