Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

Hi, mods:
Apologies if this has been addressed, but I took a look through most of the newer threads, and didn't see it mentioned. It looks to me like the list of "hot topics" on each category's landing page (i.e., cell phones, desktops, etc), now features the threads with the most posts lifetime, not recently.
Is that an intentional change? If so, I'm curious as to why. I found the previous method of using levels of current activity to define a thread as "hot" far more useful. What purpose does it serve to have old and bloated -- in some cases locked -- threads listed among the "hot topics"?
Thanks,
tbenzinger
