This actually looks like a really useful add-on.
I like that it’s not just based on replies, but also views and recency — makes it feel more “alive” instead of just showing old threads with tons of replies. The customizable weights are a nice touch too, since every forum has different activity patterns.
The “Hot” badge + sidebar combo is probably the biggest win here. It should help smaller forums especially, where keeping things visible is always a challenge.
Has anyone tested how accurate the scoring feels in practice? Like, does it actually pick up trending threads early, or does it lag a bit?
