If I may respectfully suggest, might it be more important that 'meaningful posts', if I may use the term, be the ones that are truly counted? You can build up 1000 posts in a day by sitting in the word games and bouncing from one to another... but does this really signify someone who has contributed meaningfully to the board? Those who greet, who respond to questions, who provide information; these help the board truly survive. While the games and such are fun, people come here for more than that, I feel.
Yet no, this is not an important or dramatic circumstance; certainly not to the level of keeping the board up and on line.
