I notice that the icons on most of the threads are hot topics (red envelopes) and few are open topics (ruber ducky, ernest.) I asume that they all start out as open topics but become hot topics once they obtain a vast amount of posts. But it seems to me that a "vast amount of posts" is not all that much by the standards of these icons. <br><br>I mean, look at the menu for most of these forums. Their almost all hot topics! It sort of diminishes the icons' meaning when you can't tell which ones are <i>really</i> hot topics. I think the standards of these things should be changed. It shouldn't really be a hot topic untill a thread at least makes it to page two. What's your thoughts?

What's the hot-topic limitation now? 50-ish posts?

Isn't 32 the number of teeth in an adult?

32 sounds awfuly random to me.<br><br>20 seems to be doing fine, but 40 might work too. Or mabye a page and a half with 30.<br><br>Naw. 20's fine.

I would think 42. After all it is the answer according to Douglas Addams. <!--emo&:D--><img src='

well, 32 is significant for computer people, as are all forms of 2^n.<br>aside from that... i don't see it much elseware. <br>oh, and 42, i think that would just be one of the funniest things ever.
