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?
