   The count of posts are probably not a metric for quality though (not that you claimed it is), I would like to see at least the number of words accounted for! It might just be the case there are way too many more of two word sentences! :D (And it still would not be a good metric, not sure why I brought up quality exactly, I am just wondering what would actually be a good metric here for that. :P)

      The formular righ now for selecting in "the conversation now" is:

      (points-1)× e^{-age in days / decay}

      I am testing right now with decay: it was 14, I am wondering between 7 and 3.

      Do you have suggestions on a different way to do it? Comments?
