How are threads chosen to be "featured" here?

Is it a person actually choosing them or just the software picking them bc of view counts?

It's usually when they have a lot of responses and/or views in a short period of time.

So a person is picking them?

I'm not complaining just making a suggestion that some variety would be super helpful. The same few ppl have their posts constantly featured while other threads get buried fast.

I think it would be cool too if more threads that were totally made up of original content, not consisting of news stories, would be featured. This girl who joined here in the spring made a lot of threads like that that were bomb. They got featured, so that was super great. But she's left.

It's actually a forum/software response. We could manually feature, although we don't usually since we let the software do this based on responses.

I think some of the areas this happens are the most common areas visited, like politics or news, and the same thread starters seem to post there on a regular basis, if this makes sense?

In the main home page, I don't believe so

You can watch certain forums though, and check your feed that way to see when each section has a new thread in it
