Well, this kinda re-inforces my implied point. You spotlight it because you
think it is important, but no one else has. Once again, the problem comes
because people don't spotlight enough.
Even if the .announce.moc added weight (+5) wasn't so high, your message might
not have made it to the sidebar.

There is indeed more to LEGO than MOCs.
Adding post activity to the equation of what gets to the sidebar is the real
point here. Balancing just on spotlights, stuff is still overlooked because
people just don't spotlight enough.

Depends on what is on the list, really. With the drama of me and kevin stepping
down, plus a string of MOCs lately - I'd guess it would take more than 5
spotlights.
