Like 3-day old stale bread. I have no idea how a story makes it to the "hot" page, but it seems random. I would consider a "Hot" post to weigh the frequency of comments in a thread per hour or per 3 hours. For example, a post with 100 comments over the course of a day wouldn't necessarily mean it's hot, but a post that has 20 post in an hour or 50 posts in 3 hours should be considered "Hot".
