For nearly seven hours there have been seven topics(threads) in “Recent Posts,” and the “read words” thread has had nine posts followed by “Nearly fifty thousand people”(6 posts) and “Cute girls, mathematics, and language”(6 posts).

What do you think of this statistics?
Hi Yutaka, To change the system is on the to-do-list. Mark will proove if it is possible to show the recently changed threads instead of the last posts.
Yes, the 25 recently changed threads might be better.
What do I think of those statistics? Hmmm, you seem to like maths and languages, Yakuta-san. I shan’t ask about the third component. of a previous thread. Seriously, it’s interesting to see the numbers like that.
