Who the hell do you think I am?

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but how does the "Top Forum Topics" list work? I know the pinned topics at the top of the forum are put up there by the moderators, but do the threads in the top forums topic list get up there if they get enough activity, or are they just pinned there by a moderator?

I think it is based on the number of saved threads it gets.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

When a Pinned Topic and a regular forum Topic love each other very much...

I think this has something to do with it. There is probably some minimum number of saves that a thread needs to be a top forum topic, then they are listed by most recent post.

Are there any other factors? Or is that it?

I thought that was only for The Classifieds, but I could definitely be wrong.

I always thought (in every other forum besides The Classifieds) that the Forum Ninja's would handpick topics, and pin them.

Again, I could be wrong (and I probably am. Lol).

It's based on threads that get "Saved" the most.

Mostly.

There's some other stuff, but we don't know what it is.

This is correct, when your thread has enough saves it will go into the "Top Forum Topics" list and it'll be up there for a while. But, when a few more topics come around it may be taken off the list temporarily.

I'm pretty darn sure it's only based on the number of saves a thread gets.

Nah.

It used to be (I think). But a few years ago Achronos made a post that said (paraphrasing): "Stosh just made changes to how the top forum topics work in each forum."

Since he said multiple changes, I assumed there were more things to keep in mind.

Edit: And yes, I remember weird things.
:P

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."
