How do the stats get on the leader boards. I would like to know since I do not understand how they get there.

Thanks

Stats are submitted to our stats server when you press the Refresh button on your game's Statistics screen. They are compared to everyone else's statistics and you see your rank in your game, and if your stats are high enough, they appear on the leader board for that game.

even when im not on the internet, i still get the message: Update failed; Are you on the internet? Why?

There could be several different reasons, which are listed here, but, in this case, the server is down. I'll be fixing that soon.

Edit: VV:TLC server is back up, but VV:ANH has a more serious problem that I will leave for Arthur to fix later today.
