What are you waiting for?
This list is actually one, but listed individually on the HOTTEST pulldown.
It is the only list that is weekly
It is the only list that can be found in two places.
The only achievement that can be earned is for being Hottest Dude or Chick for the week. And that also allows you to have a dark red user name. There is an achievement for the first time making it to this list, but nothing for maintaining it.
The exact HEX code for this color is BB0000
This list updates at about 1 AM Fubar Time, 4 AM Eastern every Thursday.
Every single Wednesday evening, no matter the bonus, people run Boomerangs and Famplifiers. I won' t say this is because the update is the next morninng.
Your public profile will display Top Dude or Top Chick of the Week #XXX, which leads to the other place you can find this list.
On your homepage, if it's set to Hotness, the center block (The Hotness Box) is 42 profiles. If you click Top Girls or Top Guys, it will display the top 42. At the bottom, you can click Next to see 43 through 84. This can be repeated all the way through to 1000 for both lists. There is no quick way to get to the higher numbers. A lot of people have never seen themselves on either of these lists.
Dudes and Chicks, or Girls and Guys, this is one unique list. Like others, some want to be at the top or at least on the first page on the Hotness Box.
SO, how do people get on this list, and how do they get to the top? Profile rates. Eventually I'll blog about that, but I'll say that the first week of February I went for the top ten Weekly, because I just wanted a red name, one time. I was talked into going for number 1, even though it's not a separate achievement. The coolest part of that was appearing on that top left corner of top guys for just one week, that was enough.
Without going into it very deep, the number of profile rates for guys normally will be less than it will be for girls. This has always been a ladies game. Profile rates are direct (people come to your page and click any of the red numbered cherry shaped icons. All count, even Fluffy rating you a 4) or indirect (get added to someone's family when they run a Famplifier, and every rate they get, sends one to you. During that week, I had one day when I earned more than 28,000 and twice I was number 1 over all (including the ladies) for the day. For the week, I got just short of 100,000. For the most part it's 70,000 needed for number 1. Be sure to announce that you want to go for it well ahead of time, so people can help you, and people can slow down themselves as a courtesy. People do want you to get it.
The actual published information about this is as follows:
results are calculated every wednesday night at around midnight pst, based on events over the previous 7 days. number of profile ratings and member activity used to determine the rank. (yes, i'm being vague on purpose.. ;) -mike) only fubar members with salutes are eligible.
