hey i have a question, i started playing quizzes about a year or so ago, and i had done about 2100, and i stopped playing for about 4 months. i came back and it said i had played about 1,900 quizzes! i was wondering why it lowered my number.

that's a simple one if you think about it.

Quizzes do get deleted over time.

i know how u feel aaroncarterluver, it's quite a dent to the confidence when u've worked so hard to get ur scores up isn't it?

i am assuming that one of the problems is that when people leave the website (i can't imagine why anyone would want to!!!) there is no one to maintain their quizzes, say for example, if there was a error to the quiz, then who would the player send the msg to so that it could be corrected ..?

therefore when someone leaves, their quizzes get deleted too (i'm not sure who does the deleting). i'm sure someone will correct me if i am wrong in this assumption.

No, quizzes are not deleted when someone leaves, unless they were "kicked out" by the administration for boorish behavior. However, if a correction notice is submitted on a quiz and isn't responded to (whether because the quizmaker has left and never reads it or just never responds to it), the quiz will be pulled offline.
