How are the posts selected?
-
I think that the hamsters have a meeting, discuss the merits, or otherwise, of the more recent posts and vote. In the event of ties the 'One potato, Two potato' algorithm is employed.

In the daily email newsletter, there are always two posts at the bottom (Code Project Discussions - Have your say!). Does anyone know the criteria for the selections?

Brown envelopes. Used unmarked bills (preferably large denomination bills). Toilet doors.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

Chuck does not join. Chuck is a member by default. Netscape folded because they forgot this simple fact.

I believe that the most interesting post or a post with a lot of replies often gets picked

There are some really weird people on this planet - MIM.

It does not seem to be always the case. "Most interesting" is very subjective. CP must have a way to make the selection.

Yes, it is subjective to the guy who wrote the newsletter... :) He might have list of long / highest voted threads, and then he will make final selection.

A human being who reads the forums and also creates the newsletter thinks to themselves "self, this looks like a good thread to mention in the daily newsletter" later on that person picks those threads. I mean, that's just a guess but what did you expect some kind of ridiculous software that automatically picks a thread? That would be a classic over engineered unnecessary geeky wank-fest if I ever heard of one. ;)
