You might have realised that I've removed the latest threads on the forum index page, and replaced it with "popular threads" (latest posts are still there, I think latest threads isn't so useful).

"Popular threads" is somewhat similar to latest replied to threads, however it calculates a rating based on replies, views, time of posting etc.  It currently doesn't take into consideration thread ratings - will probably add that in (though I may have to exclude the Music Ratings section).
The thing is updated every hour.

What do you think of this?
