  That's it exactly - journals aren't stories.
  
  Journals can have a discussion attached to them - just like a story can (it doesn't have to).
  
  I think the HOF only does stories. There used to be some code in it to scan for the most used slashboxes I thought (it's been a while since I perused the source).
  
  It would be cool if someone wrote an add-on or patch that would list the most popular journals. (However, I don't think the Journal plugin's schema has a hitcount field to track the hits to each journal).

    The problem is, how do you do that without turning it into some sort of game?

      By game do you mean people posting crap into their journals trying to get the most popular journal on the system?
      
      Answer: banlist?
      
      How is this game different from any other blog out there?

        Yeah, but if we put up a stat like "Hof" we try to remove most of the gaming from it.
        
        Banlists don't work, because you find yourself constantly banning accounts. Needs to be automated.
