    Eh? Wise guy, eh? Eh?

    Fearnot, whynot.

    I just created a new "hot posts" RSS feed that only picks up posts with XX number of comments. I'll feed that to Twitter, so that only the most interesting posts get tweeted.

    Let's see if it works. The only problem is that the RSS feed sorts by date posted, so if an older thread gets hot, it will still show up below the more recent hot thread. I don't know if Twitterfeed will choke on this or not.

    If anybody know anything about RSS and mysql and how to get newly hot posts to show up at the top of the heap, let me know.

    is theres a mysql db for "comments"?

    if so (and if its set up properly) you can sort them by "CommentTime" (or whatever), ascending or descending. so, whatever output goes into this particular feed, have it call up that value to sort, as opposed to "PostID" (or whatever value is automatically appended to each post as it comes in to keep them in order).

    im not toooo familiar with the inner-workings of phpBB, but if its anything like similar backends, it could be a bit hairy to actually sort via the timestamp on comments as opposed to whatever nebulous, constantly-increasing post-count that is attached to actual posts. itll be much easier if youve either already hacked the feeds in this way or have some empirical way to browse/edit/sort the raw mysql bizness (like phpmyadmin, etc etc)

    it can be done, though, and rather easily if you know what youre working with. ill look into it further when i get home today...
