Looks like Technologizer has the worst submissions to points ratio, followed by Infoworld and Valleywag.

"Nowdocs are to single-quoted strings what heredocs are to double-quoted strings"

Excellent. I was looking for a feature like this last year, and when I asked #php they said it didn't exist. Maybe I inspired someone.

These are cool statistics.

Apparently I am the #12 commenter here. I should read this site less :)

By submissions or votes?

It says right at the top:

     Domain                 Submissions

  1. techcrunch.com                4303
  2. nytimes.com                   3824
  3. wired.com                     1474

So what do you suggest? "Ban 'em all - let God sort 'em out!"...or what?

Huh? He asked if the list was by submissions or by votes, and I was pointing out that his answer was right at the top (by submissions).

By votes list is here: http://top.searchyc.com/domains_by_points

Sorted by average is probably more interesting, here's the top 20:

I wonder if placing such a list on the "leaders" page will encourage popular authors to write more?

Thanks for posting this, really great to see GitHub up there.

Why are so many sites filtered out? And by what criteria?

Ah, I didn't realize such a page existed. Since I sorted the "top domains by points" list, I suppose that filtered out any domains which had very few submissions with a high average.
