    I always look for those interesting posts and forum discussions on here but it takes some work tracking them down. It would be nice to have a section dedicated to trending topics on this site. I went over and saw that edward40hands forum again and remembered how crazy it was to watch that play out. This section would just let members know what posts are getting the most attention.
    I know we can sort by views and stuff but that doesn't always show what is getting the most attention. It could be an old post that is being bumped from the grave.
    Thanks

    I was thinking this exact idea accept for beer reviews. Show which beers were the most reviewed in the last rolling week or month. Kind of gives the user an idea of what is popular and obtainable in a given timeframe.

    while i hate "trending" on most sites, i like both these ideas.

    for forum, could do it as curation by mods, or something whereby you can distinguish active discussion / debate from "what are you drinking right now?" and "post your favorite haul" (which are fine threads, but no reason to ever be called "trending" since if you want that thread, it's always there, and always the same).

    for reviews, i love the idea of just a flat out "most reviewed list", maybe 25~50 long. no other tailoring necessary, just a flat list of beers getting lots of reviews.

    I'd back these ideas too. But agreed we'd definitely need to exclude hauls / wbaydn
