Why would we want latest topics over hot topics? |
This again...
Hot topics buries new threads by bumping up old threads and mega threads constantly. Some threads never get a chance because the poster has the audacity to post it in their own timezone instead of US time zones. Stupid and controversial threads get bumped constantly while threads with substance might never be seen. So it encourages bumping, which is terrible. In latest topics every thread has an equal chance and equal time to be seen.
In latest topics dupe threads become more obvious because all the latest threads are easily seen and never buried. So even the lazy cunts who refuse to check latest topics do not have an excuse anymore.
There are more upsides but the point is that Latest topics has literally only benefits while Hot Topics offers no benefits at all and makes everything shit. Yet the admins refuse this no brainer step.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
