Tabulated review threads sorted by average score

No, nothing set in stone at least..

As I said earlier I guess I will try to have a constant rotation between series (so TOS-TNG-DS9-VOY-ENT-two or three book exclusives/miniseries and then start with TOS again) to not get to one-sided, and throw in some older titles (like Warped) in-between the titles of the novel continuity area.
 
Isn't Warped, like, incredibly terrible? I'd stick to great ones; there are plenty of those.

Love the rest of that list :)

Yes, Warped is incredibly terrible (and that is an incredibly favorable view at it), but a) I want to see how it fairs, and b) we are already extremely top-heavy in the ranking, so why not give poor Michael A. Martin some competition for the bottom places? :rofl:

FWIW the next DS9 novel after that most likely would be Avatar.
 
^ I've always thought I should re-read Warped and see if I like it better now that I'm older. Maybe this will be my impetus to finally do so.

I've now added the search improvements I mentioned (except for the spelling correction for now), and they don't seem to have impacted things negatively at least.

Edit: I'm now also reporting Goodreads scores as "n/a" when there are less than 4 votes, the same bar used against thread votes for inclusion in the table.

Great to hear you added in Goodreads scores, nice to compare.
 
Was there ever a thread for James Swallow's Cast No Shadow? I can't seem to find it...
 
New classic review thread has been posted:

DS9: Warped

Really interested how it fairs and if it is really as hated as it often appeared in the past.

@Sho: If I'm not totally blind Cohesion isn't in the list yet. Any idea why?

You made a typo in the poll options - "Avarage" instead of "Average". The code checking for whether a thread contains a poll in in a compatible format is too strict to allow that. I'll modify the code to make it ignore that.

Edit: Done & report generation re-run.

D'oh! :alienblush:

Thanks for checking and rectifying the situation. :)

Week 24/2014: New Frontier: House of Cards * Peter David
 
Are books starting to disappear off this list? Weirdly, all the Destiny trilogy is still on there, but the books immediately published after Destiny - A Singular Destiny, Over A Torrent Sea, Full Circle, Troublesome Minds - all aren't. Are old threads getting deleted, or was that always true?

EDIT: Never mind, did some searching of my own - they're all still here, but they didn't have polls. Oh well.
 
Hmm I'd say "always been true", e.g. the Full Circle thread has no poll, and the same goes for A Singular Destiny and Over a Torrent Sea. Keep in mind it's not a general index of book threads - it's only the threads with a compatible poll.
