The 25 most popular projects / threads of 2014

[MetroMPG]

I love year end lists & retrospectives. So let's start a new tradition on EcoModder...

The top 25 most viewed projects / topics of 2014 (so far...)

I made a couple of editorial decisions putting this together -- it isn't 100% by the numbers. (Also, feel free to point out the glaring methodological problem in doing this kind of list.)

So without futher ado, here they are.

Haha, wow. The Donkey CRX's thread really takes the cake!

Some very good threads in this list. I can't believe I missed one or two of them.

[jeff88]

What about the YKYAEM thread?!?!

[MetroMPG]

Clarification! These are threads that were new for 2014, not older threads with the highest view counts.

This one:

Started in 2008 not 2014...

Looks like the list is sorted by views. I started one that was a little shy on views but had more replies than many on your list. Is that your glaring methodological error?

Not that it matters. When you make a list like this, ya gotta pick a method and stick with it.

[MetroMPG]

Yup, that's one of the glaring problems!

We could make multiple lists. A list based on number of replies would have a lot of overlap with this one, but some different ones too.

[dirtydave]

my thread is #22 woo!!

lmao its the most boring thread on the list.

[Vman455]

I'm number 3! I'm number 3!

Actually, I had no idea that thread had so many views.

[MetroMPG]

Did you link to it from Prius Chat or somewhere else? Some of these were probably boosted by traffic from outside the forum.

[Frank Lee]

How odd, I somehow missed many of those completely.
