Possibly the most I've ever seen Jimeee put on a forum, and most assuredly I agree with all of it. . . except for maybe the 500 number. I understand why you're placing the number high, but I also think if a member that joined about a month or two ago makes a large contribution to the wikia and is sitting at about 250-300 (half the required posts) and they don't get recognized for it, we stand the chance of making said individual not feel appreciated, therefor possibly losing an asset. There are a lot of arguement on either side of that, and I understand each one of them, I just felt I should throw that thought out there.

As for forum posters, I think Jimeee and I agree on the RP Threads a lot. I don't see the ultimate point in them, but that comes from a long-stand dislike of digital RP as much as an understanding of story-flow and how near impossible that is to attain properly via a forum thread. If the people enjoy it, however, I won't knock it or deny them of it. However, I don't think it needs to be part of a "Poster of the Month" reward system. Personaly, I don't even monitor these threads, as they are near impossible to keep up with and I wouldn't have a clue what people want in them or not. I fully believe that the OP and anyone they deem required and/or qualified can take care of those threads on their own. I fully think we need the internal system for nomination-review on the forums. It is the only way to ensure that staff knows these people.

Personally, anytime I see a member posting in any quantity (absurd, helpful, annoying, mean, what have you) I check their other contributions. There are members that post on the forums that I don't really like, but they would make decent nominations for such an award. On this section I don't know that we can put a number on the contributions, so much as we need to put a value on each one of its own accord. If I have 150 posts on an RP thread and go off to make one helpful post on someone's bug question for Morrowind, am I really Forum Poster of the Month material?

I understand, too, why the RP threads are more rampant at the moment. It's because there is so few people really playing Skyrim and so many people either waiting for ESO or flocking to other games to fill the gap between chapters 6 and 7. The wikia is, rather largely, dependent upon the gameplay of its members, haha. While I play one TES game clean until the next comes out, others do not, so this causes a slow down on both sides of the community. Now I feel as though I'm rambling and have gone rather tangental, so I'll stop here, lol.
