I think I’ve got the “Most Popular Posts” algorithm fixed up.
The algorithm was purely comment-counting before, but a new release of the Popularity Contest plugin has tweaked its algorithm and worked around the caching, and the new set of popular posts is much more inline with my gut (Brian’s Apollo 11 Dismembered wasn’t even on the list, which was just wrong). Here’s the current set of Most Popular Posts:
