Why are some scores deleted from the stats at the blitz server?(including mine and an incredible 40k one)

Bug in town growth mechanics

Yesterday I discovered a bug that sometimes makes towns grow faster than they are supposed to. Since it gives unfair advantage I reset some scores that I found to be affected (mostly blitz ones). Unfortunately we'll have to wait for the next OpenTTD release to completely fix this bug, but for now I made a workaround. CityMania servers destroy those "extra" houses that were build so overall experience should be pretty close to normal.

Pro tip: build roads one tile (or 1.5 tiles) further than CB town border is until this bug is fixed. It may appear to be HR but in fact "next" counter will not be reset.

Is this bug now fixed by the openttddevs?

No, not in 1.5.2 unfortunately :( But except requiring to build roads one tile further this workaround works quite well, town growth is same as in 1.5.0
