First of all, happy new year!
We have gained a lot of traffic over the holiday period, and once again became a victim of our own success. The number of users at peak times is pushing the webserver to the limit, and this is the reason for the 502s. An upgrade to the infrastructure is on the way, made possible by your generous support, so keep it up! It should be ready in time for our 1 year anniversary.
Now, onto other new features...
There is now a ratings histogram on the title page, which you can toggle to view. This will give a good idea of how other people have voted.
In addition, Bayesian averages have been added to the title page. This new method of calculating the average is designed to negate the effect of small number of extreme voting on either end of the spectrum. If you're interested, the formula is:
Feedback on the usage of this formula is welcome. The average rating on the site around 7.9.
