I'm not sure thread views equals popularity either. I've viewed the BADik thread at least three times, but I've never downloaded nor played the game. I've asked site admins about what factors in to "Weighted rating", but they've declined to give me an answer. It would seem that there are more factors than just the average of the ratings and a scaling factor based on number of ratings.Uh, rating does not equal popularity. Check the views man, 3.4 million versus 44.9 million. Honestly not sure about that weighted rating either, 1200 versus 465 and only a .1 difference.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm a fan of Caribdis' stuff, and Eternum's good shit.
In any case, I've amended my comment about Eternum being the most popular game since at least two BADik fans have taken exception with that assertion. "Most popular" as a term is too poorly defined to get into an argument about it.
