there are like 3-5 of these a day

I think it depends on where you go.

These stories typically drop off /news pretty quickly, but /active has loads and loads of them. I also seem to see flagged ones, which is probably down to my settings.

hckrnews.com is a great interface to see which stories hit the front page and have dropped off.

On the first two pages of /active I see roughly one per day. Are the feeds different for different people? Or maybe the our definitions of "loads" are different in this case. It's true that if I were suddenly seeing so many posts about geckos I would find it a lot.

I guess that a lot of the active threads devolve into politics. Do you see flagged stories as that's a lot of them?

It's the flagged stories I'm talking about, one or two per day. Maybe twice a week one of them will be unflagged and stay up.
