After far more time spent figuring it out than I care to admit, I came up with a script to fetch the most active posts. ie.. posts with the most comments.

And 5 of those have no comments at all. I know because I posted 3 of the last 5.

How far back does it go? Could you design it to go back further? Or filter out the ones with no comments?

Thanks for your time and effort!

Currently it grabs page one and two, so no set time, I was just shooting for approx. 24 hours.

Going back further would definitely be easy enough.

I think I could probably figure out how to filter out posts with no comments, but it would be more difficult than the other for sure. I'll take a look see.

Awesome work. Something like this is actually really neat. I'd like to see where the conversation is happening when I log in.
