MattBarry/Jim - I tend to agree on this - I'm not a fan of rankings based on post count - you could have a Peter Chao come in and rack up the posts and be a "Hall of Famer" and then have some very knowledgeable lurkers who post very rarely (say DoctorDave in the E121 discussion) be "Rookies."
Much more telling to me (but also with it's flaws) is how long someone has been a forum member, and that's already displayed with every post.
