The "Hot Discussions" listing is decided by the number of responses in the last 24 hours, so (because earnings depend on the number of responses, likes and - to some extent - comments a discussion receives), any discussion which is high in the 'Hot' category will have already earned more than the average.
All discussions with any responses at all can be (theoretically) listed at least once in the 'Hot Discussions' listing and if you scroll to the bottom of the list, you may see plenty with only three or four responses. Whether getting your discussion into the listing increases the number of responses will depend entirely on how many people actually look at the list. I suspect that more people regularly look at the 'Most Recent' list than any other of the lists and that very few people indeed take the trouble to scroll down the 'Hot' listing very far.

@Cristi_Ichim I (and JJ) have been here almost since the beginning. Between us, what we don't know about myLot might be written on the back of a postage stamp ... or possibly a large football field, depending on how much there is to know!

OWL, are you a moderator or something?

my understanding is anytime a discussion (whether old or new) receives a new response or a new comment, it shows up in the hot discussions.
so if the discussion-owner starts commenting to the responses there, or new responses or new comments are added by other mylotters, then it will automatically show up in the hot category.
am i right @jolietjake, @owlwings ?

@JolietJake ah, so it applies to new responses only. so if it's my first time to see that discussion, i read the responses, but decided to add a comment under a response, it won't show up in the hot discussions?

@JolietJake There must be something going on, though, besides just the number of responses in the last 24 hours. If you scroll down the list you'll begin to see that it is not ordered quite by the number of responses a discussion has received. It does rather look as if there is a 'total activity' count rather than just a 'number of responses' count (which is what I would expect logically). It seems that an explanation of "Hot Discussions" was not included in the Frequently Asked Questions page. Perhaps @GoAskAlice and @MyLotBugs should remedy that!

I don't think being in a hot discussion list will make us more money.

I am not sure. If I make a discussion it was because I want to make one and not for the sake of being in the Hot discussions or Top Rates.
