How are the trending pages calculated?

I can't see any real correlation between the threads when sorted by 'trending' - I've tried looking at post count, specific tags, specific users, and there appears to be no relation. Just as examples: I've seen threads with as little as 2 posts on the front page of trending while it ignores certain threads with massive post counts, and threads with no specific tags other than a specific sub-forum on the front pages. Am I missing something, or is there a patented super-secret forumla is effect?

    The formula will probably stay a secret, but it seems to include: - Number of posts in the thread - Number of likes (dislikes probably has a negative effect) - Age, as the original post gets older, it will be less "trending" Mods or admins may be able to give announcement posts high visibility by cheating the system, but otherwise I doubt who the original poster is matters. Disclaimer: This is mostly speculation. Edit: Apparently B.net doesn't allow as much BBcode as I had hoped.

  • The Webmaster does what the Webmaster wants. It also has to do with likes, possibly recently liked pages move to the top of trending.
