Spank-A-Thon, I'm here a lot of time, every day and I don't post that often, also for the reasons you said. I work hours and hours on the forums with Fortune, and I have low stats. But I don't care.

It's just a funny thing that can make some people post more often, and this just means that the forums will be even richer of ideas and words to read - because the fact we included these little funny stats doesn't mean we'll be accepting spam or anything else. The rules are always the same.

I certainly don't expect you, or the other mods, to accept spam any more than you do now. I also agree that it may encourage people to post more - I just hope that the extra posts also add value to the forum.

I don't really care about my stats, or those of others - I know who the good posters are here and I certainly don't think this will change their posting habits.

Their is no doubt that something like this will encourage people to stay, and obviously you want more members (bandwidth permitting of course! Heh heh...). I'd just hate to see these forums inudated with an influx of spammy newbies who are only interested in boosting their stats. That's the reason I left FFonline (even though they haven't introduced stats).

In January, I'll have been here 1 year, which suggests you and the rest of the team are doing things right (from my point of view of course). Fact is you're the only forum I belong to now and hence I can't help but feel protective.

As I said, I think they are a great addition and will add a lot of fun to the forum - but I don't want to see people abuse this feature.
