Hypography's Most Popular!

I recently noticed that a majority of the most popular threads (they show up on the right of the screen when I sign in) have to do with specific topics. Please let me know which topics you think would be *MOST* popular on hypography. By most I mean the most distracting, irritable, you know the usual suspects that cause our moderators to devote a lot of attention to.

Here is what I have so far. Please re-rank if you feel necessary. This is going to turn into a moderators soap box

1) Theology
2) Politics
3) Environment
4) Social Sciences (I am grouping: same sex marriage, etc into this category)
5)???

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Re: Hypography's Most Popular!

Any of the subjects are interesting as long as we have diverse knowledgeable people discussing them. I do not understand "distracting" I only engage is subject I am interested in. As far as the political stuff well it is an election year.

Sorry distracting was not the right word. I was trying to say distracting in the since of you post somewhere like the political forum and then go off somewhere else and your thinking, "has someone repost since I left" and you go back.

All I was basically trying to get at is what are the most popular/hot issues on hypography in your eyes.

Sorry for the confusion!

Re: Hypography's Most Popular!

The "hot issues" are in constant flux here.

For this moment in time, I would propose this list:

1. Politics
2. LHC
3. Invalidity of BBT (ongoing...)
4. Arcade domination
5. Relativity

But mind you, I've been playing catchup on a lot of threads so I'm not a good judge right now.

What is more interesting to me is the hottest topics on hypography since its inception! Unfortunately, I can't think of any kind of automated way to generate such a statistic (though this might be possible on the forum level?). So, I'll just hazard a guess...

1. BBT
2. Evolution
3. Novel Mathematics
4. GR and SR
5. Particle Physics

Wow, that was more difficult than I thought it would be. I'd be interested in other views on this.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
