with 190 questions, moms4mom still occupies top slot on the Stack Exchange Sites leader board, closely followed by Ask Recipe Labs who are just 9 behind – who will be ahead at the end of the week?

    We’re going for quality over quantity at this point. ;-) Btw, I think your question counters still need a little tweaking. Isn’t it possible to scrape the question count from the /questions page?

    Hey Scott

    Yes all sites need adjusting in terms of question count. Just to be clear on the approach / methodology that we have adopted.

    Basically the algorithm is based on the RSS feed of each site which grabs the last 30 questions (ie. http://moms4mom.com/feeds).

    When a site is first added, there is an option to add a ‘Question Count Correction Value’) if the sites question count is greater than 30 then there is the option to add a value that is equal to this:-

    If Total Question > 30 then ‘Question Count Correction Value’ = ‘Question Count Correction Value’ – 30 this will then adjust the count accordingly.

    However, we have noticed slight discrepancies where the feed count is different to the published question count on any given site.

    We are striving to fix this issue.

    Cheers

    Jonathan
