There is always one....

Nah, it's a valid point I guess. Only why should it be just the real "freelance" topics that are displayed? This community is about having fun just as much as getting down and dirty with web development. The current system pulls the 4 threads with the most replies from the last 7 days, so tommorow a few of those will be cut off and new ones displayed. It's just a little feature to display the most talked about things on tf.

In any case Salathe, you can't build a community on pure web development..you need the fun topics and general chit chat.
