Is it the amount of times a thread is saved or viewed or both?

Pretty sure it's just the amount of people that save it. DeeJ's "Request a ban on a Mythic Member" thread was a classic example of this. (it had 5 replies and was on the top topic listing.)

Does anyone know the amount of saves it takes or is it just a rough number? Like, for example, 10 saves but 9 or 11 could do it?

I don't think there's a set number. Depends on the forum and traffic (maybe?).

Key

Well they can drop off the list so it's a combination of activity and threshold-meeting. Let the amount of saves required be x, and every thread that reaches x saves is put into the TFT List, but we can only view the ten most recently replied-to ones.

I think it has to have more 'saves' than at least one of the current 'hot topics', i.e.

Lets just say for example that there can only be 3 'hot topics' at a time:
-Title FAQ: (200 Saves)
-Ban a Mythic: (134 Saves)
-Webcam: (57 Saves)


The new 'hot topic' would have to be saved at least 58 times for it to be added onto the 'hot topic board'. The thread that it beat (in this case 'Webcam') would then be taken off the 'hot topic board'.

I assume that is how it works anyway.

That would makes sense. Especially when it comes to the more non-active forums such as The Classifieds and The Gallery.
It is actually my thread in The Gallery that brought this question up. It's not as active as some of the forums on here and yet my thread just made it too the Top Forum Topic side.
