Subject: Remember when it took actual skills to get a hot topic?

And now every average Joe can get it... Why don't we increase the posts to get a hot topic to 101 posts. Just because.

A better idea would have multiple levels for hot topic. 50 for Red Flames, 200 for Blue Flames, 500 for Green Flames.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

A hot topic isn't some kind of award that's supposed to be difficult to achieve, it's used to simply tell people that a certain thread is popular. The hot topic symbol is just more eye-catching than a thread without a symbol. I don't see reason for changing the criteria.

I find this humorous.

By and by, I notice no difference in how obtainable Hot Topics are; Your silliness levels are off the charts.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

This is only a problem if you think getting hot topics is a sign of worth. If you think a hot topic is just a topic with a lot of replies, it stops mattering who gets them and who doesn't.

An agreeable point of view.

If you're making threads just to increase your number of hot topics, then you're not doing it right.

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

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...

OP, do you think that because most hot topics are just spam and stupid threads? Because I've seen tons of threads that are hot topics, and offer real discussion value.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

Blame the filthy forum casuals. They're ruining the hot topic skill gap. Lool, just joking. But I don't see the problem with an average jo achieving a hot topic. As long as there's some discussion value I've got no problem.

Real account.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

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

Why does it matter to you?

I dont get it? What's so bad about having a lot of hot topics? If you think only the ones with over 100 posts are worthy of your gaze, then just look the post count next to the thread and only go to the ones with over 100.

If you use the forums to get hot topics, you are doing it wrong.
