I also should probably think about cleaning up the main site first before I take on any more side projects.

Poked around on the Neocities source code on GitHub, I've cracked the code to how the Special Sauce score is calculated. https://blog.44nifty.com/2024/09/what-makes-neocities-special-sauce-sort.html

In summary, it rewards frequently updated websites, with several pages, who follow other users, spark discussion on their profiles, and don't get blocked by large amounts of people. In essence, just websites that provide value, and keep Neocities active and friendly.

Also, I don't know how many of you noticed, but the "featured pages" on the sign up page are no longer four sites manually picked by Kyle Drake, but is instead replaced by the top 12 sites (under Special Sauce sort) in a random order. There is a permanent boost to the score of sites that have broken the top 12.

federi clearly was gaming the 'most followed' system (especially in regards to the followers to following ratio - seeing as they said following was a requirement to be listed on their site and they refused to follow back in any situation)

(I kinda realized I made a major mistake when writing the first couple of comments so I manually deleted them and made that new comment)

I'm shocked to find myself on the front page, since I don't seem to get that much interaction on my profile, and my follower count never seems to increase.

After three and a half years working to make 44nifty.com the best it can be, I've finally reached THE FRONT PAGE!! Thanks Kyle for finally putting the default to Special Sauce :D
