Talk:Featured Users
I found all the featured users on the site. With this list we can now have a discussion or figure out what the requirements that are required to become a featured user. Someone also had it on the request article list.--Centralbandit 22:41, September 6, 2007 (CDT)
Just to throw in my two cents here, I have a few sites over a 4 rating with 600+ votes and 10,000+ views, and still am not featured. There's gotta be more to it than that, but what it is I'm not sure.--Frenchbreadpizza 23:01, September 6, 2007 (CDT)
Your site came after he ran his script requirements. Users at this point are added manually.--Centralbandit 23:18, September 6, 2007 (CDT)
Wrong. IVIegadude fits your theoretical requirements, he's not featured. Studged, who created Dr. Dre feat. Cosby, isn't featured. It clearly takes more than one site to become featured, and probably has a lot more to do with average site rating. In any case, your guess is unequivocably wrong. --Necronomicon 01:02, September 7, 2007 (CDT)
ok people, how about instead of telling me how wrong I am you come up with your own theories to contibute. I still stick by what conclusions I have put so far, because if you actually go through the user lists, you can clearly see that some of them only have one site over a 4 rating. users lina, teknorat, whetstone fit this conclusion, but then again they could be the exception to the rules, and could have just been added manually.--Centralbandit 01:34, September 7, 2007 (CDT)
Well lina is max's sister, and teknorat is a moderator. As for whetstone, I suspect divine intervention was involved. In any case, since I've pointed out users that clearly disprove your theory, I don't see how you can get upset about it. It is demonstratively incorrect. --Necronomicon 01:55, September 7, 2007 (CDT)
I'm not upset about anything. Not all moderators are featured. The only divine intervention on ytmnd is max. I'm mearly trying to get anyone who reads this to help contribute with their own theories on the subject matter instead of just disproving mine.--Centralbandit 02:14, September 7, 2007 (CDT)
The "requirements" are completely guesswork, based on the initial algorithm max explained and on guesses about how other users were featured. The system is manual now, that's the only thing we really know for certain. BTape 13:32, September 7, 2007 (CDT)
