I htink this is a bad idea, the members who are on here longer would lose their exteme post counts, and there would be no way to judge how high or a rank you have.
We did this at the Ferrari forums (at my suggestion ) and the site really slowed down. There are some posters who post, at least partly, to increase their count, believe it or not.
It's not a criteria, as it's not a fact. I believe the post counts will inspire people to post more. Again, not a fact, it's what I think. Sorry to disappoint you, can't please everyone.
Forgot to leave a message when closing this thread, but please leave all your suggestions in this thread instead, eaiser to keep track of everything that way:
