thread_title: hotornot is badoo

message: *note from james hon: actually, the average score on hotornot of all pictures submitted IS 5.5  (average of 1 to 10). However, pictures are only allocated more ratings as users continue to check their score. Due to a tendency for people with higher scores to stick around and check their scores longer, the pictures with higher scores tend to be shown more often.

replies: text: Thanks for posting that. This actually answers a question I had, which was: why does it seem that over time, only pictures rated 9+ get shown on the site? It kind of defeats the purpose of "or not". 71.95.231.67 (talk) 07:40, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: User:Zanimum added the comment that 7 of the top 10 girls were listed as being "gay/lesbian".  I checked and it's true!  My guess is that girls in this category get more "10" votes regardless of the appearance of their face.  I also noticed that two of them were 50 years old, and one was in her forties.  She was remarkably well preserved for her advanced age.  Alas, truth is no defense for original research, which is the main reason the change couldn't stay in.  Now, just get someone to publish an article in a reputable newspaper in which it is reported that 7 of the top 10 girls are gay, and that comment goes right back in the article!—GraemeMcRaetalk 03:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

message: :I see that there isn’t a lot of flow on these two pages, and I see that anons like adding many links to these pages, e.g. such as this version.  Many of these are just repeats of Hot or Not; some however, I’ve found, are tasteful and interesting, such as:  
::Kiss or Diss – Amateur Video, e.g. Humor, Dance, Misc, Etc., Rating Site
:Anyway, I’ll try to sort out the good ones over coming weeks, maybe three good ones for each “category” or something along these lines.  I’ll likely follow the following nutshell guideline:
  
:I also want to write the history section, if anyone has any leads?  I’ve read the history of how the 1-10 rating scale started (in the 1920s-70s?) somewhere, I’ll just have to dig around to find it?  If there are no objections soon, I’ll likely merge all the related pages into “rating sites”, with a category “entertainment sites”. --Sadi Carnot 02:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Bad

message: In process of cleaning up rating sites.  The merge wasn't done completely and the info from this site ended up being redundant and hogging most of that article.  Examples should only move into parent articles either as short blurbs, or in cases where the parent article is mostly about the child subject.  In this case it became something of a catdog article.
There's enough content for the article to stand by itself.  It's not a terribly good article, and it needs sourcing.  There should be more about the company and not just its website.  But I'm pretty sure the company is notable and verifiable sources are out there.  It gets written about all the time in the tech blogs so there must be some more significant publications.  I'll find one or two and put them in a reference section, but I'll leave the rest of the cleanup to others.  But please don't sweep this mess under the rug by dumping it back into rating sites.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:HotorNot-screen-pic.jpg

message: www.coolminiornot.com is an idea based on hot or not for miniature painters and scultops to have their works rated. is there some where in this article that would provide a place for that, or would it belong in some other article if the first mini voting website has any notability? shadzar|Talk|contribs 22:13, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Heavy Bias 

message: As of April 2012, it looks as if the hotornot.com site has undergone a complete revamp which means the site no longer allows people to rate users. I think this needs to be edited in.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.70.181.1 (talk) 15:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  HotorNot no longer rates 

message: "Hot or Not was claimed to have been preceded by the rating sites RateMyFace, which claimed to have been launched a year earlier in the summer of 1999, and AmIHot.com, which was claimed to have been launched in January 2000 by MIT freshman Daniel Roy.  A quick and easy check on archive.org disputes both these claims."
The indexing time of archive.org is not a reliable source of the launch date. The search on whois shows that the websites were registered as previously claimed. Note that the website registration date may not be the same as the registration date (as e.g., hotiornot.com, which was registered a year ahead of its start time). I updated the page to reflect these changes.
