A sequence about you (Puzzling Stack Exchange users)


I have a mysterious sequence for you...


$204, 186, 172, 133, 126, 123, 120, 119, 111, 107, 102, 96, 90, 87, 86, 86, 85, 79, 75, 73, 70, 68, 66, 66, 65, 65, 65, 64, 64, 64, ...$


This sequence may change over time, so I made a website that (should) always show you the current sequence. It's not that likely to change often so the website only updates once a day.

Question: Find the next elements of the sequence.


Hint 1:



You won't find any hints in the source code or the domain or server response or something like this. It's really about the sequence. If it couldn't change, I would not need any server.




Another small hint:



The title of this question is a hint.




Answer



It looks like:



It continues (as of now) ..., 63, 63, 62, 61, 60, ...

Because it is the number of votes (up minus down) of the top-rated questions ever on this site.
