# Nice series
Also, does anyone know why some pics make the popular page, even though they are lower in the image challenge than pics that didn't get on the popular page?
Just curious as I've seen it happen a few times now.

...crying softly to themselves as they work their slippery magic, whilst the mods look on, laughing manically and twirling their moustaches.

Probably.

# The popular page is based on likes from that day, whereas
the image challenge is cumulative? Possibly, I'm just guessing.

# just a thought
pictures sometimes get bumped off the bottom of the popular page but remain on the image challenge

# At a guess.... and just a guess, (I'v only made the popular page about 6 times I think)
I think it may have something to do with with how quickly you recieve you (I like this clicks)
As In, if something is posted and recieves 10 clicks within the first 3 hours or so, it is more likly to get on the popular page than something that was posted 3 days earlier, but has gradually recieved 15 clicks slowly over those 3 days making it higher in the actual compo.
As I say just a guess on my part.
Or it may actually be mods doing it, it has puzzeled me in the past too.

# This is pretty much my guess too
But it is puzzling how and why they would go about coding such a thing

# I know! all that work coding and they can't even be bothered to switch search off and on again!
I have had stuff in the compo myself that was beating other more popular members stuff that always gets on the popular page, and there was their picture and mine nowhere to be seen...

# I've had a similar experience.
Sometimes stuff does pop up on there a couple of days later. It's odd, (but not in a conspiracy theory way odd).

Does anyone actually care if they "win the internet"? I just like making silly picture things... if someone else likes them as much as I do, then whoop-de-doo-frot-my-winky-and-call-me-Daddy.

# The popular page is simply a way for lazy mods to see what other people find popular without having to trawl through the board
Mods will simply FP anything they find funny and/or topical. No science involved.

Bum me if I'm wrong.
