Having trouble getting my head around the math right now, but if you sum the scores and multiply by the number of votes, would that return a different number than if you multiplied each score by its number of votes then summed all those results?

What I'd like to do to help you develop/prove this out is make a report available that gives the historical numbers, both unweighted and weighted in each of the above ways if they'd yield different results.

Wait. Summing the scores is usually going to yield 55. Assuming each score gets used at least once.

Or are you summing only the top x scores?

Give me a list of data and formulas you'd like for each date and I'll make it part of what's available on that screen.

And it's probably about time for me to finally learn how to use .NET to make a graph based on data inputs.

Though we're still not getting enough participation for the numbers to be statistically significant on a per-ticker basis except in the case of very few stocks, we definitely should have enough participation and data to test out theories regarding what kind of indicators the numbers really are. But I'm really looking forward to when there's enough participation that it becomes useful on a per-ticker basis.

It won't take me long to get this written, once I can get started on it. Getting started on it is the challenge. Lots of fish to fry, including installing iHub's new database server tonight and lots of upcoming late nights configuring it and migrating data over to it.
