As membership grows, so does site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely slow page loading.

In addition to counting a member's number of posts, points are given (10 for a reply, 20 for starting a new post). I think the software even gives additional points for use of graphics and other sophisticated inclusions in a post...not sure of this. Anyway, it's another forum participation measurement tool.
