lol so its all based on a ratio

Now that I go back and read my earlier statement I realize that it did not across how I meant it to come across. (It seemed really pithy at the time, turns out it just sounded good in my head.)

Let me try again... If you are going to create an incentive for quantity of posts but are concerned about quality then you should create the incentive based on something other than quantity. Whatever metric you choose is up to you but ultimately, if you can increase the number of people visiting on a regular basis, some percentage of those are going to turn into active participants.

Also, those active participants will know that their and other people's posts are NOT just to get some reward, but actual quality posts (at least, as my last post proved, quality posts in their heads). :)

I won't even try to rewrite my stupid little x y equation...
