A little slow around here - CONTEST!!!

What is the name of your state?CA

It has slowed down a lot around this forum, so I want to present a brilliant idea I just found on (where else?) a snowboarding forum. Here is their proposal, verbatim:

"As a benefit to our valued forum members, we're contemplating developing a rewards program for the progression of posts amongst registered users. For example, a prize would be awarded for reaching 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 10,000, etc. posts.

"Prizes would consist of (name of ski area) Memorabilia including custom Mousepads, pens, T-shirts, whatever...

"The only way we could achieve this is by setting everyone back to zero. You would still retain your status (hero member, Sr. Member) so that you would be distinguished from being a "newb", but your post count would have to drop to zero so we could track everything.

"What do you think? Is this something you would like to see or is it more important to preserve your post count. Leave your comments and feedback!"

Is this like the best troll ever?

Hmm...a literary work, plagiarised verbatim, with no credit given. Kinda ironic that the OP broke the law on a legal forum.

I agree. You would have every idiot and troll posting to achieve the goal...and the postings probably wouldn't be worth a crap.

IMO, It would be a sorry excuse for an MB.

EDIT:..Sorry, I had to add that post count shouldn't matter. Even the most seasoned posters can be wrong on the fifth full moon of the sixth month every 20 years.
