Edit: I just realized how impossible this thread is to understand.
This sound reasonable?
uch = user comments per hour
auch = average user comments per hour
PA = post age in hours
Post1 = ((UCH1 / AUCH1) / PA )
Post2 = ((UCH2 / AUCH2) / PA )
Post3 = ((UCH3 / AUCH3) / PA )
if Post1 > ((post1 + post2 + post3)/3)*1.10
if a thread has no comments it'll have a "trending factor" of zero,
As threads get older and older they will need exponential new post, or to beable to hold a LARGE section of posts made globally.
If a topic is really a trend, everyone should be posting there ANYWAYs right?
