What does the 'fire' icon at the left of some thread titles mean? |
|
I know it means a "hot" thread, but what are the criteria for said hotness? :shrug:

3. When I first joined DU |

I thought that meant that the thread had bad language in it. Because the longest threads always tended to have the most bad language in them!
Turned out it was just a coincidence! Or not. :rofl:

5. I didn't think it would be that simple |
|
But on further review, it appears you are indeed correct. :thumbsup:
I figured it'd be something like X posts in an hour. :shrug:
Seems silly, too, since you can look at the post count. Kinda like having OPS as a baseball stat along with batting average and on-base percentage. Redundant.
Oh, well... with that mystery solved, I think I shall retire.
