Many of the "Lonely Images" don't seem very lonely at all. What is the criteria?

I look at the number of views, downloads, and votes. I then divide by the ammount of time that the images have been on the site and by the number of images that the author has uploaded in the last two weeks. Then the most needy 10% are chosen for the gallery. I'm going to guess that it's the dividing by the time on the site (max two weeks) that is throwing you off.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm not very mathimatically minded (that's what you get when both parents are English teachers) so I wouldn't be able to come up with the equation. It just seemed to me that there are several images that haven't been on the site for very long that are included in the Lonely Images gallery. For example this image has only been on the site for about 4 days and seems to have a decent amount of views. Where as this one has been on the site for a longer period of time and has less views is not considered "Lonely"

I don't think that it has, but I cannot be sure. But if it has, you would think that would make it even "Lonlier!" :D

Canoe: The difference between those two image's placement is probably due to the "number of images" factor in the calculation. People who limit their uploads are more likely to have an image featured in the gallery.

Is it the mods who go through the 'new images' catagory and move things into the permanent? If so, how about having them add things that they think went by in a blur and deserve a second look. Things that meet their criteria but the calculations don't add up.

"Lonely Images"? I've havent heard of this. Is it a gallery? If so is it a sub-gallery because I dont see a main gallery called Loney Images. I really like the idea though.

I'm a sporadic visitor of caedes.net and find browsing through the New Images can be veeerry time consuming, as I see you have already discussed in other threads. I just want to say the Lonely Images section is a clever idea; I probably would have missed the new photos I've downloaded today if I had to trawl through pages of New Images.

Well done on making this site even more user friendly & good choice of the title!

I think its causing my c-indexes to drop, and the views/downloads to expand. Oh well, sometimes I think people rate my images too high ne ways.
