[quote=BrobyDDark]I like the idea of the points system @SilverRain had, but bribing people to help almost feels shallow. [/quote]

Oh, I meant the points system would be applied to everyone, including newbies.  It's just an incentive for them to become more active before the excitement dissipates.  :)

[quote=Budda]The grandmaster knights were also often respected members of the community and generally pretty nice people (until I became grandmaster knight, ofc). It gave me a pretty good reason to be active there, because I looked up to these guys and wanted a nice looking lance to go under my name. [/quote]

Thanks - it's titles like Grandmaster Knight which makes me want to become more of a member.  The time spent online as a measure  sounds good too.
