MAU-Algorithm?

January 16, 2008, 04:03 PM posted in General DiscussionI was surprised to find myself at position No. 2 in the MAU-List - after 2 weeks with almost no new posts.
Is that still a left over from my mobile-browser-crashing Christmas Grammar post, a bug in the algorihm, or a have I become a MAU honoris causa?

Which is why with more than 1000 total, I was listed below the 500-600 rank. Incidentally, I have now dropped from the 2008 list altogether :-(

January 19, 2008, 01:04 PMeither way, I'm no longer there and that's absolutely fine, I intend to mainly post in Chinese now. But I'm also interested to know what the most active (88)group algorithm is. I guess it only takes into account number of 'students' and traffic, irrespective of the number of lessons (otherwise I'm pretty sure 88news would come up top)

January 22, 2008, 05:45 PM...as to the large backlog of CPod stuff, tell me about it! Now that Vera gets me to work on Media material once a week, I've reduced my intake of advanced lessons. In any event, I'm just about done with my 2nd batch of practiceplan (8 months basically). So after a short break, I'll sign up for another 12-months, as I don't have s.o. I can talk to in Chinese at home!

November 13, 2008, 10:15 PMI seemed to have dropped off the ranking list for the year, weird, when I checked last week I was above 1000 posts, though already listed way lower in the list. Some of my comments must be assigned a lower weight ?!

November 14, 2008, 01:47 AMHi goulniky
I will ask the tech team what is going on with the rankings. But rest assured, your comments are not being weighted lower! You are one of the shining stars of CPod.
有了你我们community就精彩多了！

November 14, 2008, 03:32 AMJust for the record, I sometimes saw some of goulniky's excellent phonetic radical-related threads appear on the conversations page before, even though there is no new posting in them. I guess something is wrong with the setting (?) of the group. Please ask the tech guys about this. Thanks.

January 22, 2008, 05:41 PMhehe, thx henning. and I'll start adding more stuff again as soon as I'm done with some large meeting I'm running at work over the next 2 days. I'll also mix in a regular stream of simpler, shorter pieces with pics from xinhuanet, and some audio from CSLpod

January 16, 2008, 05:44 PMI think something in the algorithm changed (probebly all comments made are taken in account now [hmm..maybe the race will start again if that is...]) :-) BTW I´m on the list again too (yippy!) :-)
