I wonder what "best of all time" would be. Anyone have an idea?

  Define it and we'll try to make a list for you.

    It'd be important to add a correction dew to the increase of the user numbers. I remembered a old popular story about Homer in CSS and when I searched it, it has only 39 points. In that time it was a lot of points.

      Revision: Define it in a way I can code in 10 minutes or less and I'll try to make a list. :)

        Maybe I'm not thinking "best of". Instead a better way to describe would probably be "most of". Such as: Thread with most points. Thread with most comments. Etc. Although, come to think of it, this could cause competition, so perhaps instead "density" of comments, or "number of comments within 'X' units of time". Same with Points.

          At the bottom of the page there is a "lists" link which contains: leaders Users with most karma. best Highest voted recent links. active Most active current discussions. bestcomments Highest voted recent comments. noobstories Submissions from new accounts. noobcomments Comments from new accounts. I'd be interested in something like "links with most classic votes" where a classic voter is someone who has a six year old account. Like classic[1] but for votes not submissions.
