Re: Top ROM Downloads tracker?

I know that this might be a huge task, but Is it possible to create a post that automatically tracks and updates with the number of downloads that each of the cooks custom ROM's have had overall, this month, this week, today.... ect.?

I think that a stickie thread that showed users what the hotest roms are would really reduce the number of threads created asking what ROM they should be using..

Anyone else like to see something like this or have any thoughts?
I voted no. What's the point of this? To see how popular a ROM is? And that tells us what exactly? Most chefs utilize different hosting sites, and you'd have to get them to agree to track/supply their numbers. Plus there'd be no way to verify them. That post we get in here sometimes about what ROM to use is few and far between, and I for one don't mind steering people towards my favorite chefs - and others don't as well by the looks of responses to those posts.

Ever since a certain chef who I won't name started the popular use of using the same thread for the multiple ROM releases, using "Views" to dictate popularity has become impossible. BTW, I never use his roms...
