Is a top 10 list over worst rated prods a good idea?

Yes! It would be really interesting and funny!!!

No, that would be boring. 8 out of 10 would be NE releases anyway. ;)

don't count on it, tomaes.

those demos would prolly be more interesting to watch than the ones currently listed in the top 10<g>.

hmmm. that would bring "selfvoting sucks" to a totally new dimension. imagine fr releasing fr-minus-07, downthumbing it by themselves because it's real crap and getting thumbs up from macaw!

i'd like to see the top10 most overlooked prods... sorted (ascendingly) by page_views*(rulez_votes+sucks_votes+1).

that would atleast have some change and probably dig out prods nearly no one has seen before :)

And a "most controversial prods" chart would be interesting too (prods with MANY thumbs, both "rulez" and "sucks").

a top 10 list of the worst demos ever made would be very funny =)

then you finally can se me thumb up chimera :D

In order to satisfy all your perversive top-something needs, I think analogue should create an engine to safely get any results from the database. This way you could build 'safe' queries to get results like 'most overrated intros for Amstrad for the last week, released on a Sunday, not rated by stefan or macaw and sorted by amount of booze consumed in the making'.

lol!
great post, mot :)

and why not a top 10 taking count only the lastest released prods (2 or 3 months ago or something)?

A "top ten of a specified time period" would be a good feature. I wouldn't mind seeing the top 10 for 2001, or for the last week, etc.

SELECT * FROM demos WHERE datestamp<(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW() - 3*60*60*30)) ORDER BY rating ASC LIMIT 10

:))

Wouldn't it be more accurate just to call such a list "bottom 10"??

though it wouldn't be very cool if people made crappy demos just to get in the charts

mot, cool :D
