While I can understand and fully see that 'trending' is very useful for the splash page of the app, in practicality, it's AWFUL for forum and discussion use. Excellent threads disappear because of the algorithm. Honestly, the best thing would be if a thread gets a reply, it should get 'bumped' to the very top.

Their are other issues with this as well. One being a very, very SERIOUS EXPLOIT. I don't want to talk about it in public. I would love to communicate this with someone higher up.
