That or hot sort.

like, we need 2 hot sorts, one that only considers votes made in the past 30 days, one for the past year.

Bart

I wonder how many people actually knowingly use non-default sort options

Aaron Hall

whoa, let's hold off on changing defaults, you're like a bull in a china shop, man...

so reckless...

Shadow Wizards ears were burning, so he decided to check the likeliest spot...

Shadow Wizard

Jason C

That reminds me of this annoyance: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/223880/… although it seems somewhat mitigated now.

Shadow Wizard

Hey, if Shadow Wizard can ping me from the Den, I can ping him here ...

Shadow Wizard

@Bart surely very very very few...

@AaronHall hehe, I'm afraid only @bluefeet can tell...

Aaron Hall

attempts pinging a Master Lich, but the evil unded resists the call of the land of cartoons and kitties

Shadow Wizard

Lich.... wow so much time since I fought one. :D

bluefeet

/me ignores all the pings

Shadow Wizard

@Aaron can a cleric turn a Lich? At level 20? I can't remember.... :(

@bluefeet oh hey, something different for you, if you got a second.... can you see with your magic tools if there is a deleted upvote on this deleted answer?

Its author claims the reputation was not affected by the deletion, but it makes sense only with score of 3.

Aaron Hall

19:17

@bluefeet btw could u add that sort thing?

kthxbai!

Shadow Wizard

hey don't overload her! :P

Aaron Hall

It's an easy edit! :)

I'm sure it's all built out, they just need to uncomment the tab...

rene

awaiting some blue feets to kick users ....

Shadow Wizard

...or some blue beaks to poke some users...

Aaron Hall

Jan Dvorak

Aaron Hall

Jason C

@JanDvorak It's a blue-footed booby. (heh heh booby)

Jan Dvorak

@bjb568 Have you also considered CMU?

Jason C

^^^ I went to CMU

@bjb568 The campus is great and Pittsburgh kicks ass.

Wholeheartedly support.

It's on my secondary list. I'll apply to it next year if I don't get in to MIT, Caltech, or Stanford this year.

The quality of posts is highly subjective. We want objective, but that's elusive.

user335633

good point

Aaron Hall

So I said that, but I think a strong objective signal is when a new answer surrounded by old cruft begins to slowly rise above the cruft.

And if you agree with that, you'll also agree that we need a hotness sort. Not necessarily by default, but at least optional. That's what I would sort on.

user335633

@AaronHall absolutely

Aaron Hall

You're the most agreeable person I've met here in the Tavern. gtg!
