the icon on the side of the threads...what sets one aside as being hot?
i understand the new posts...the closed thread...and the "u have posted"
but the hot part boggles me.
anyone know?:)
****why would a thread that's old still be "hot"?***

    i think it is to do with the number of posts, or the number of views or something
    2003 - Sydney x3,
    2006 - Reading Festival,
    2007 - Katowice, London, Nijmegen, Rock Werchter,
    2008 - MSG x2, Hartford, Mansfield x2, Beacon Theater,
    2009 - Melbourne, Sydney,
    2010 - I watched it go to fire!
    2011 - EV Brisbane x3, Newcastle, Sydney x3,
    2012 - Manchester x 2, Amsterdam x2, Prague, Berlin x2, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen,
    2014 - Sydney, EV Sydney x3

    I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!

    so even an old thread could still be considered "hot" even if it hadn't been looked at in weeks?
    i don't know why this is so much on my mind but it is.
    thanks for humoring me:)

    50 replies or 350 views makes it hot.
    condescending and sarcastic since 1980

    guess so.

    when i hold the mouse over the hot envelope picture down the bottom of that page in the key a little yellow box popped up that said "more then 50 replies or 350 views"


    so i guess it just means number of posts, doesn't matter if no one has posted in it for a while, i don't think it goes cold.
