Random Story

After clicking 'More' next to "Random story from the archives" on the home page, I noticed one of the 10 stories supplied was very recent. I vaguely remembered Lazeez announcing a change to stop very recent stories being the home page's random story and I used the Search Forum Posts facility to look for it.

When I searched on random story, I got 207 hits, but many didn't have the words random and story consecutively. So I tried again with "random story" in double quotes. That reduced the hits to 50. Until I selected to go to page 2 of the search results, when it became 207 again. Oopsie.

And I still haven't found Lazeez's announcement :(

Very impressive - less time than it took me to do the washing-up and make myself a nightcap (TMI?).

That helped me find your announcement too:

I updated the algorithm to pull stories that are at least two months old.

The story in the 10 returned by "More" was 2, perhaps 3 weeks old. Am I right in thinking you only applied your tweak to the random story on the home page?
