Newbie Top 15 Question

So, my video (http://www.videosift.com/video/Penn-and-Teller-on-Letterman-07) was in the top 15 for a few hours, then it disappeared. It still has more votes than #15 (46 vs 27 currently), was queued only a day ago, and originally submitted maybe 3 days ago. So why did it disappear? These are the only reasons the FAQ lists for a video not on the top 15 sidebar. I was so psyched, now I'm just confused!

Much thanks dag - FAQ terminology is bit confusing on this subject though to new sifters. I guess because I assumed the 4 day limit would apply to a "sifted" video, since some videos seem to sit in queue for a while before being discovered and upvoted like crazy. It didn't seem make sense that said videos could be bumped from the top 15 in a matter of hours. Ah well, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

we have tried it with the top 15 using the published date - but the list gets kind of stale, as the videos tend to hang out a lot longer. I suppose we could use the published date and whack it down to 3 days on the top 15.

It's a catch-22...in order for videos to get on the list videos have to be moved off the list to open up positions. Though it does seem like a video should get to live on the list for at least 24 hours.
