Another small update for today: I added back the most commented stories page under the site's Popular section. Why was it removed in the first place, you ask? It was expensive to run the query that produced the results. I figured a less expensive way to do it so I can now add it back under the Popular section.

I've also tweaked how recommended stories are chosen under the recommended section. There was obviously something wrong when karma shops were finding their way onto the first page of the results.
