I participate in a number of forums, and this is the only one that has this kind if system.

I don't start many threads, but there seems to be no way for me to predict what draws recs. I have made it to the top of the greatest threads page three times, and they were all simple thread premises that I thought wouldn't draw ten recs. One of them only had a dozen or so responses, but I think over 150 recs. There just doesn't seem to be a pattern to it.
