You're no longer pink. Maybe it's just something wrong with the site. Hmmm...

He explained that for now he is just going with pink for the site.

Holy sh*t that's not a lie. Updated.

Maybe this will help you keep track. Featured Users appear under the title box "Featured Users" on the main page. The rest don't. Problem solved.

oh hey macks it seems like you could use more featured users starting with the letter Z. it's a pretty uncommon letter. I could help you out with that.

2008-09-22 18:33:56
 
All I know is almost everyone I like is now featured (re: people who come up with their own ideas). Don't forget to add pgn2b to the featured list. I'm not sure why those people are no longer featured (add Goneja to that list) unless Max is rotating users.

I wouldn't worry too much about the people who lost their status. They are all popular users and their horrible fad sites will still get ridiculously high ratings while their good, original sites will tank (or is it the other way around).
 
2008-09-22 20:35:39
 
Hanks got a good point. wait...Am I still featured? I guess that means I'm not popular LOL

2008-09-22 18:34:47
 
you forgot that leetshoe got added into 'legendary users'
2008-09-22 18:40:35
 
There is definitely a few quite users that u'd be surprised arent featured but good call on the add ons
2008-09-22 19:07:44
 
I forgot to mention egonym is featured.
2008-09-22 19:13:30
 
I lost my pink status, so you can add me to the list.
 
2008-09-22 19:29:16
 
One question though: Why is there a dramatic change all of a sudden? Some of the users just added should have been there a long time ago (like hanktherapper, mattdh12, AwesomeBob) and some should have been removed a while ago (like RySenkari and DonaldMcRonald), but it seems to me the algorithms for featured user status are now all screwed up. Why is someone qualified, like dmaz, who has several sites with a lot of views, votes, and high ratings, removed from the list to let someone like FF0080, (continued)
 
2008-09-22 19:32:50
 
who only has 1 site with over 300 votes, more qualified? Could someone just explain the whole thing to me, It would be much appreciated.
 
2008-09-22 19:53:56
 
I have never understood the algorithms behind the featured user list. I think it's better now in that most of the new people are more creative and make better sites. I think I figured out why those people were removed from the list. Max said that he was going to base the list on more current activity than overall activity. Most of the users removed have not released a lot of sites lately. And those who have--were not rated that well.
 
2008-09-22 19:54:52
 
Now I don't know why people like lowcast or korf were added when they haven't released a site in a while. Still, I'm glad they were. Maybe Max did consult people over who should be added.
 
2008-09-22 20:02:15
 
hmm, those seem like good reasons, but if thats the case, then MasterSitsu and syncan would lose their status for not posting in a long time, and keaton would lose his status for posting poorly rated sites. I don't get how it works, I wish max would make it clear to us through a news post or something.
 
2008-09-22 20:24:01
 
max doesn't give a sh*t about us. he posts enough sh*t to keep people from going online even though he never gets anything he promises done

2008-09-22 21:09:09
 
With all the sites Sitsu and Syncan have in the HoF and mod favorite list, they could be in a different classification. But I don't know. It's a theory. I'm surprised steakman is still featured.
 
2008-09-22 22:22:03
 
Remember when ballzass91 was featured? Also, doesn't look like Sphonix is featured anymore either. Was he on the list?
 
2008-09-22 22:30:15
 
No longer featured: britzman, AtlDynasty25, barf, brucedlx, isonoe, LupinTheThird... just to name a few, there are probably more...these ones just jumped out at me
 
2008-09-22 22:42:48
 
This time around, it started with a fresh run of the algorithm then incorporated edits from btape and teknorat, so if you want to blame anyone for not being on or being on the list, point your hate that way. Hopefully the list will rotate around and change more often to get more good content makers highlighted. Also shoover is right.

Thanks all, especially prairiedogeric. And if you see this again max, how often will the list be updated/rotated?

no I'm just mad because DarthWang, AegisReflector, and MurdarMachene aren't featured, and barf was defeatured, I need some random BARONKHAAAAAANOOOOOOOOSTAPLER on the frontpage just so I don't rage out on every single sh*tty direct rip I come across
 
2008-09-24 09:00:10
 
I agree that MurdarMachene should be featured
 
2008-09-25 23:32:34
 
GoldDean lost pink status...as far as I know, he's been featured since the beginning (also, it's been bugging the sh*t out of me since I first saw this site, you gotta fix the spelling of gr33nscr33n's name)...and Goneja is now a black featured user, not sure about the rest of those who got unfeatured
 
2008-09-29 00:03:57
 
OmniIcyshelf lost status (I don't know if you're still updating this, but whenever I discover a new difference, I still report it)
 
2008-09-29 15:16:31
 
Nah, it's been too long to update. But feel free to keep posting. OmniIcyShelf? Really?
 
2008-09-30 10:27:54
 
A good way to find out if a user is still really featured (take Goneja for an example since his name shows up in black font) is to click the USERS tab and browse the users. Goneja's name will show up pink there. But when I saw Omni's name in there, I realized it was in the regular brown font. Any featured user should show up pink.
