Just have to get this off my chest, How Should Boards Be Ranked?

the problem with doing that would be the amount of data that the boardtracker spider would have to parse would be huge. imagine continuously spidering every thread on gfy for new posts and keeping track of the average length of all those posts.

a) the demand for a "proven" ranking system would have to be there to constitute such a ranking system

b) that ranking system would have to be proven to work substantialy better then a "quick and crude" ranking system.
