Ah, that's interesting. It reminds me of the
Booyah iPhone app, which gives you "achievement points" for doing good things in real life.
I'm actually not against this idea. If it motivates people to achieve more, than heck, make a game out of it! But I hope the focus is on achieving more in "real life" -- not just racking up some digital scoreboard.

LOL
When I decided to take a forum break, I noticed I was somewhat close to 2,000 posts. So I posted a bit more and quit at 2,000 for a few weeks or so... I don't remember exactly. I wouldn't say I was going LaDy GaGa over my post count, but it was a funny little game to stop at an even number like that. I was going to stop regardless.
Angela took a break at 10,000 posts. I think she's just doing the same thing and used 11,110 to do it.

Good point. The "join date" is shown above the post count, and it shows how long ago someone joined, but it doesn't exactly tell you how much time they spend here.
I've seen other forums that show stats like, "You've been here for 2 days, 11 hours, 24 minutes."
Big brother!
