This site highlights how many posts each user has made. I'm not sure you need more than that.

Some forums have a way of pinning/archiving/profiling the most insightful or highest profile threads. That may be something to consider instead (and I noticed Leon linked to where that information resides on this site). For a forum like this, where a ton of knowledge has been posted over the years, I think that would be more valuable to profile. (That's why I'm here.) For instance, someone recently replied to a great T206 thread that Ted Z started. That bumped it to the top of the forum feed. That was a fantastic thread and should be archived/easily accessible (because, if you are new like me, and just search for T206 you get 11 pages of search results). Once enough threads are archived/profiled it will be obvious who the hall of famers are.

Anyway, I'm just a brand new member that's here to suck up knowledge from all of y'all but that's my two cents (sometimes worth less and sometimes worthless).

This is a good perspective, and it conveys the essence of what I think about it as well.
