Getting rid of active topics sidebar would go a long way. In the ITT days the forum traffic was slow enough that it worked, now there are simply too many active topics and it seems not enough good stuff stays at the top. Please Reggie consider that simple change.

What about if simply remove "Active Topics" from the front page and make it visible from the Category down?

Instead have statistics about size of activities on a sub-forum?

And also have a link to the "more" search page in "Active Topics" for those who want to only reply.

Another ides is not remove "active topics" and to have a different rank system for active topics:
for example: sorted by count of posts and reads in topic in last 24h?

many of the most active topics are the rant-only ones. why would you make them even more visible? being "active" doesn't say anything about the relevance or usefulness.

You want the RANT topics to be up top.
SO everyone who want's to rant goes there.
The rest of the people need some other way to find the "real" active posts.

if the answer is NO, then don't post.

if YES, then do.
So this explains why there hasn't been much activity on Diablo (Maemo4) and N8x0 - selfmoderation....

I've been thinking about a much simpler solution: Add another block to the top of the "active topics" block, which would list the most active most high-rated topics.

I would prefer this: Simply filter out low-rated (below 3 stars?) threads from active topics.

Below 1 star would be a start!

I see your point but consider this would actually work against you: brand-new threads would not show up, missing the opportunity for ratings.

So I would list zero star and over 3 star threads.

This is a good idea!
