Hi guys, this was mostly for curiosity's sake, I wanted you to look at some patterns I noticed in the hot topics threads. We all know that some topic titles are controversial, others there to get a reaction, but these numbers are interesting, and the numbers could easily be applied to all the forum topics for the past 2 years at least. Take a look!
