That sounds like a challenge I hope more people take up :D
I really like the crowdfunding articles. Even if you don't make it in the TOP 20, you're making a very good job. You have all my gratitude.
At least not until the view counter starts filtering refresh queries.
Thanks, I appreciate it, and I should add that those articles are a team effort. Plus, I wouldn't be writing for GOL if I didn't enjoy it, so I'm happy to stay outside the top 20 list. :)
If you look at the top article, many of the views don't come by overly interesting articles, but by revisits due to many user posting.
