I asked because when I go to the Search, Stories
the Sort by, is this:
Rank
Title
Date Added
Category
It does not allow me to ask for "over 50,000 views". I don't seem to have the "know how" to ask for the over 50,000 view stories to look at their categories.
Sorry to have asked.

there are little less than 6.5 pages with stories with more than 50k
All you need is a bit of manual work.

Yahtzee, just click on the Most Viewed tab up top on the home page.
(It took me a while to figure it out, don't worry.)

Go to the front page, then sort by most viewed, then by "all time". You have to click on the story to see the view count, but they're sorted by number of views.
so how did you find that out? if you do it by rank, it's not in any order. if I request in the category, it comes up with the rankings of over 100 RATING, not in view order.
if you do it by date added, it's date added not views.
is this a bug that I can't sort it out by number of views?
and btw Blueprint, thanks for that answer.

No worries.
I was just lurking and thought I'd help out.
And it's just as Ladyx and MR pointed out.

Go here: http://www.lushstories.com/?type=viewed&month=all
Log down all the different story categories.
After about page 10, the view count dips below 50K views.
Happy logging.

I count 46 non stories on the top ten pages. That's 46/150. Though some of those non stories are adjacent, labelled with themes of in laws, aunts, son's friend, etc.

Okay, well since I have the badge in a non- story category I'll throw in my two cents. If we look at the 50K plus stories a lot of them have been up for a LONG time. Many were posted in 2007-09 and in many cases the accounts are dead. If we revert to the comment on "game theory" analysis, a reward that is so far in the future has no perceived value. I was very pleased to get my 30K views within about 5 months. Another thing to note is that after about 2 months people stop voting and commenting on your stories??? Have these people even read the story? How can thousands read a story and have NO REACTION to it? For myself I am most gratified as an author by those fans who leave comments and who message me about my stories.
I will admit that like Rachel I have an ego as a writer and the badge is something to be attained and I'm happy to have achieved it. However if the badge goes only to stories or stories that have been up for over 2 years then it really is a somewhat marginal kind of recognition. I did write my story in reaction to the fact that the stories I regard as my best written get the fewest views which has sort of bugged me haha. It did get 20K or so views so far, but authors I think need to recognize there is a definite bias in terms of what gets "views" and what doesn't that the moderators and admin can do nothing about.
I do not relish the task of keeping all of these pesky writers happy (good luck Nicola) but perhaps a multi-tier approach with different levels for say poetry, etc. is reasonable.
My two-cents!

That's good feedback, thank you flytoomuch.
I think what we should do, putting aside the category for a moment, is give the badge to the top 1% or so stories, across all other categories, and work out where that view count falls.
This is a job for someone with a lot of time on their hands to work out, or I'll ask Gav if he can send me the data in a spreadsheet, then it's a simple sort job.
I am guessing it will be around the 35K story view mark. On reflection, the 50K views seems too high.

OH I found another "two-cents" in my pocket (he rummages in his pocket to pull out two rather worn pennies). Perhaps an "airline" approach would work with Stories that get say 30K views getting "Gold" Status and stories that get 50K views getting "Platinum" or "Diamond" status? Just a thought?
Bear in mind that where ladies are concerned if we are granting "diamond" status they will want at least 3 carats and the rocks must be internally flawless and preferably mounted by Cartier. I do agree that the "top 1%" is a very appropriate level for top level recognition, but again, two or three tiers may allow other writers to strive for recognition where the top 1% is out of their reach. Perhaps "Silver" awards for top 10%, "Gold" awards for top 5% and "Diamond" awards for top 1%.
If you want to get even more complicated you could give "rabbit" shaped awards to those stories getting to a level within say 6 months? And tortoise shaped awards to those getting to that level after six months. There is for sure an "attrition" effect where stories just seem to randomly pick up views over a long period of time?
Geez don't I know how to generate work for the administration? Do I have too much time on my hands or what? OMG my profile has been deleted and I've been banned from the site.....HELP!!! I didn't mean it Nicola.

I agree completely with Sprite. Except for DD, and perhaps a few others, no non- story will ever get to 100,000 (at least not in our Lush lifetimes)
Lol...you think that's bad, what about non-erotic stories?
I was just checking over on SS, and if we do what Nicola had suggested and use the top 1% most viewed stories in each category...hmmm, we'd still have a lot of stories that would be about 49,860 views short of the 50k mark...
Maybe we just need to add an " " category over on the blue site...you know, to increase viewership...
What do you think Nic...should I suggest it to Lisa later?

Quote by HerSpriteness
pretty much, if someone is really interested in getting a famous story tag (and i'll be honest there, it would mean a lot to me, i try not to make a big deal about it, but yeah, i have an ego too) they'd pretty much have to - HAVE to - write a father-daughter story.
Here, let me help you out here...since apparently it has become painfully obvious to myself and no doubt everyone else on Lush, that you are completely lost without me...
As if you really needed another badge anyway...if you get anymore, poor Gav will have to create a separate site just to display all your badges...
But, anyway...it's really pretty simple, and this should be a piece of cake for you...when you write that father-daughter story, just make sure dad takes his daughter toy shopping, and I don't mean Toys 'R Us...and then stops off at the farmers market on the way home...
When they get home, just make sure the daughter invites all her cheerleader friends over that night, and there is plenty of tequila in the house....oh, and most important...make sure there is a fully equipped dungeon in the basement...
So...listen up now, this is really quite simple here...post the story in the " " category...and make sure you include all of the following tags, and this is very important..."oral, anal, gang-bang, girl-girl, orgy, cheerleaders, father, daughter, bdsm, bondage, spanking, dominant, submissive, liquor, high school party, toys, more toys, big toys, fresh ginger"...
My guess is you'll hit the big 50k view mark within three to four hours after posting...
Good luck...

Post of the week DM! (and it's only Monday)
Disseminator of decadence.
Here in Australia, Tasmanians (not an ethnic group but residents of the state of Tasmania) have gained a reputation for , prompting such jokes as :
How does a Tasmanian know that his mother is menstruating?
Ans : His brother's cock tastes different.
or
A Tasmanian told his father that he was going to get married and that his wife-to-be was a virgin. To which his father angrily replied, "No way ! If she's not good enough for them, she's not good enough for us."
Other than at this rather juvenile level I totally miss the attraction of stories. There are a few people here who are in deep and real love with their siblings of the opposite sex and I admire their honesty and openess and I can understand their feeling. But that is about it.
Peace, Love and Happiness to you all from Piquet.

Good Morning All,
I wondered about the different requirements for Famous Story, Most Viewed and Most Popular which led the search engine to here.
Is the present Famous Story requirement still 50,000?
And what defines Most Popular? I find my poem Passion Released in #3 position for last month. Well, that is nice but how?
I also noted I lost a vote overnight on the same poem, going from 11 to 10... Can votes be deleted?

I have just updated the requirements so that this badge only required 30,000 views. Maybe when I have more time I will look at different scales for this badge.
Stories within the most popular list have the highest average score, with at least 10 votes.
Votes are only removed when someone leaves or is removed from the site.
Hope this helps
