Maybe its better this way because people will post more but when I used it one day my forum and the forums I was posting at could climb and fall with only a few posts it seemed. But I guess these forums were the top 3 on the list. But I'm really liking it overall, a much better system than it was previously.

| I agree with the posts above about the rising and falling thing. After working really hard and making 400 posts since the new system started, I basically stopped posting for 4 hours while I was away from my computer (imagine that, lol) and fell from the top area of the list all the way to the second page. Seems like it is to easy to fall once you reach the top few sites.... just my opinion. | |

There is no way you would make 400 posts and then 4 hours later fall 25+ spots unless you did indeed receive 200+ posts in 4 hours. If there were hundreds of forums active in PF, that may be possible, but not with how many forums we have right now. Actually, before I get myself in trouble...this could possibly happen. If you make 400 posts at the bottom 10 forums and then receive 100 posts while you are at the #1 spot, you could potentially drop to below where you started. Remember...we're getting upwards of 250 posts per day in PF. That's ~10 posts per hour. If you start at 0 and make 40 posts....6 hours later, 60 or so posts have been made. If 40 of those posts were made in your forum, then you're going to drop close to where you started, if not below where you started. What I'm trying to say is, the same amount of activity that you were using with the old system is not going to keep you at the top with the new system. It's a combination of more PF activity and it being harder to maintain the #1 spot. However, having said all of that, I do have an idea that might help prevent people from rising and falling as fast, and I will discuss it with Larry.
