Subject: Top Thread of the Day

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

This would be a simple addition to the forums, similar in nature to the Top Forum Topics, you could see which threads in all forums were particularly popular this day.

The only problem with this is that it would create incentive for spammey threads with no purpose other than geting a huge number of replies in a short time. On that subject, I wonder if anyone in the flood like pie...

That is already the situation with Hot Topic threads.

Did you generate this idea from the dashboard trending thread, just wandering but yeah I guess it would be good in that you could see all the main hot topics from each forum on one page

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Sounds good. However pinned topics work in this way. Maybe if you put it on the front page...

No they don't. People hardly ever post in Pinned Topics and they aren't popular. Pinned topics are there because they are important. Not because they are popular.

I believe he was refering to Top forum Topics in which case he's still wrong since they're there based on saves.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

No, they don't. And why would it go on the front page?

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Sounds like a fun feature, I'd like to see this.

I agree it would provoke a lot of spamming, but at the same time it influence a lot of new people to join the forums and that's exactly what bungie.net needs, more people to join the forums to make the new games of bungie even better by people commenting on the things that bug them to make a even better universe for their new games.

People... eh I'll start again.

Person will want to have the top thread of the day every day to feel some sort of fame. Person will then create the usual kind of thread that person makes in order to do so. Person ends up spamming the community forum.

It would encourage threads for sake of posting, instead of threads for the sake of discussion.
Similar to visible post count.

A prize for any troll: make the TTotD.
It wouldn't be very difficult, either.

Why do the only counter-arguments on here seem to be "It will be exploited".

If thats true then we shouldn't have these forums as they will be used by people who want to be famous, i understand where your coming from, but threads that are trying to be simply popular don't usually have much success.

It's not really necessary, but I would like to see it implemented.
