I'm not prepared to re-code an entire system just to make the "hot topic" feature more dynamic. I have however changed the values so that a hot topic requires either 40 posts or 1000 views.
The average number of posts per thread is 20, so 40 is a good value for a "hot" topic. Similarly, most threads don't get 1000 views, and so the ones that do are more likely to be the ones that are shared across the internet.
