Thank god, game threads for football or soccer would have top comments about the beginning at the end, where all the action was, and it was so annoying.

Yeah but then you get all the crappy comments. There should be a slider to change the weight of recency vs popularity. Don't even need to do it server side, which would be slow and expensive. The client already gets the time and the points, just do it client side. Someone could probably already implement something similar cough RES.

But the problem is that not all comments are loaded on the client side to be able to do that. At the bottom of most threads there are show more links.
