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?

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

http://top.searchyc.com/domains_by_average_points

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.

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