Probably it's not the thing most would like to hear, but I find, especially in this topic, the merit quite overrated. At first I thought it helps you .. but you are also not in top 4 so I don't know
So I hope you'll get this as constructive criticism, not only criticism
I think that for example the number of posts should have taken a more important spot itself, since the advertiser will want to see its banner on many places - new and old.
I don't deny that there are many valuable applications, but going only by merits (and maybe started topics) you seem to be missing something important.
This whole topic is now more about merits than ChipMixer applications however Quite a lot of work, I won't deny it, but one and only one direction...
For ChipMixer I'd have been expecting also sorting by number of posts, statistics on posts and subforums, ... things like this. It's still time for that, however
