We are currently working on a new ranking system for PostFusion that will rank all forums based on recent activity instead of overall activity. PostFusion is still new to us and everybody else, and we are constantly making changes and tweaking the system to find the best way to balance it.

As per this thread, we decided to revamp the existing balance system. We expect to release a new system around the end of April or beginning of May. This new system will emphasize recent activity instead of overall activity. This means that nobody will be able to use PostFusion heavily one day and not come back for a month, if ever. Those who supply PostFusion with a constant stream of posts (but not necessarily in huge amounts) will benefit the most. We will provide more details on exactly what is calculated to determine rankings when it is introduced.

So, what does this mean for you? Well, when we implement the new ranking system, all forums and all balances will be wiped. Everybody who would like to continue using PostFusion and/or try the new ranking system will need to reinstall PostFusion with our new files, and resubmit their forum. Everybody will also start with a balance of 0.

We understand that many of you have worked very hard to get your balance to where it is today, and we are sorry that you will lose that balance. However, we are confident that this new ranking system will improve the quantity of posts generated by PostFusion substantially.

We will remind everybody 1 week before the change and again when the change is made. Keep in mind that our estimate of late April to early May is only an estimate.

If you have any questions or concerns before the change is made, feel free to ask here.

I think this sounds like a great addition to PF and I look forward to trying it out when it's up and running

I also agree that this will be beneficial to AdminFusion's future development

Well I also think this is a good idea. Much better to count recent activity as that would be more beneficial.

It's a thumbs up from me.

It's been a few weeks since anything has been posted here about the new PostFusion system. Any updates Ryan? I'm interested in seeing this implemented as well.

We're getting close...Larry is working on supporting the last few different types of forum software as well as adding in some last minute functionality...After that, we will need to do some testing to make sure we didn't screw up (it happens, believe it!)

I'd say less than 2 weeks
