How come specific people show up, my results show 3 different people compared to yours? Is it comparing based on your post count or something else? But this is very interesting at the same time and I wonder what it's for still...

It's a new feature that I'm rolling out slowly. The idea is to first get the first impressions and community reaction to it, and then, over time, build upon it in a way that is most beneficial.
The next step is for the bottom of forum listings to show the top members who have received the most endorsements in that section.
Currently we allow people to vote and give reputation points whether they like or dislike a post for any reason. This is meant to go hand-in-hand with the question I asked in the other thread about whether people have made any professional connections on DaniWeb. The idea is for it to be more of a true measure of how much the community endorses a member's expertise in a particular subject area ... versus reputation which is much more subjective based on if a member is personally likeable or rubs you the wrong way or not.
