It's the top contributers to the spot in Болталка (and changing) order.It's always the вверх six but the order they are featured in changes these days after michael "fixed" it to be random. They are a tad wonky sometimes because for some reason the в общем и целом, общая contribution to Fanpop is somehow calculated into the number as well.
its NOT the most active (if Ты look at this spot for example:temptasia left ages ago, pkmntrainerj is never on, chels last Комментарий on this spot was a год ago) NOR the person necessarily with the highest medal (chel has no medal for this spot nor does pkmntrainerj)i have green and i am not featured.
I guess they just have such high contributions over all which is why they are still featured или the calculation is wonky. o.O wonky boobs! awww i miss debs..I DIGRESS! So yeah: вверх CONTRIBUTERS to a spot with a splash of over all contributions seems to be the formula!
Everyone is on that Список when Ты click on it. It's just Показ a sample of what's there, just like every other aspect of the page. The вверх contributers или most active users (in no particular order) are "featured" in the preview.
I use that Список to guesstimate how close I am to getting a medal, by checking the users right in front of and right behind me. If they ave medals, I can guess mine is comming soon. (^^^I just thought I'd add that)
