random question about thread ratings

[dethtron5000]

What are the conditions needed for thread ratings to show up in a forum listing? Is it number of ratings, or recency of ratings, or what?

For it to show up on the forum listing, there have to be two votes. To show up on the front page I devised a more complex formula, which I will not disclose.

Hint: The complex formula involves the words "monkeys", "flame thrower" and "creamed asparagus" somewhere in the post.
