A change in how roll20 counts players?

Recently I've noted Roll20 treats the Total Players Needed  differently; or at least the count is off. For a 5 player group I used to enter 6, as the count included myself as GM; as is still specified on the LFG . However the way the count is done seems different. I've got a game or two now with 6 players needed that tells me, with 2 players in, 4 slots are open. It no longer seems to count the GM (which makes more sense imo). I'd suggest either change the description to mention the count is without the GM included, an easy fix to avoid misinforming GM's and players, or correct the code to act like it did before. Let's be thorough if were going to change things, devs! ;P
LFG layouts in general have been massively messed up for a lot of people the last few weeks.

For years the count has been "1 different" on LFG compared to the Game's Details page. I'd like to see them all synched up to count the number of humans participating. Discounting the GM has always been confusing to me, I'm a player in the game too. I will check my listings to see if I notice the change now.
