Nothing ever gets from Rising to Hot at night. Why? Probably because there is a point threshhold that's just impossible to reach because not enough people are logged on.
I think a good solution during twilight hours, is either A) posts need to stay on "Rising" for longer, or B) "Hot" needs to have a smaller thresshhold.

It's a legitimate concern I have that this site doesn't function correctly at night. The sliders need adjusting when the traffic is low.
