I wish there was a better way to show who actually contributes (even if it happens to be off-topic) interesting material, that wasn't quantified.
I mean, if enough people post "lol, rofl, j/k" blah blah blah in one post after the next, it's no wonder they've hit 1000 posts in no time.
What I mean is, I don't think the "number of posts" should be so important. I'd kind of like to see a contributor ranking. But then, you get into reputations where others have to vote, and that gets kind of goofy too.
I don't think I've got an easy solution. I'm undecided for now...
