A simple posting reward for our contributing members.
I was doing my daily check of backlinks to this site today and I notice a Page Ranking 5 backlink from another site I visit. Turns out they had set their default memberlist to display by post count. And since I had my home page entry filled out I got a PR 5 backlink. Pretty cool stuff and it only cost me the time it took to be a good member and contribute.
So I thought, why not do that here. From now on our default memberlist will display by post count and our top posters will get a backlink to their listed home page. And before you shake that off, we are at this time predicted to be Page Ranking 5 or 6 at the next update thanks to all the quality backlinks we have aquired. So posting could pay off for your site.
The only disclaimer is, no adult, gambling or pharmacy type sites are allowed in your member profile.

Actually sounds kind of nice.
Which makes me wonder again about something, so I'll post a new thread somewhere else.  |

They have been here. But they can't post links so they won't come much anymore.

Ah ... I found that feature very annoying (10 posts before links allowed) but now I understand the true value of it. Excellent. |

All Links Matter!
Relation is more crital in who you link to. Keep in mind, any vBulletin forum linking to another has some sort of relation in vBulletin.

Speaking of quality of posts...
Have you considered that 'thank you' mod? I kind of like it. Thinking about putting it on my new forum. |

Yes, but people that spam posts aren't going to use it so it doesn't solve anything. I'm not big on having a lot of mods using up resources.
