Rock and roll will never die
I don't think it's unfair to suggest that instead of rewarding the number of times someone posts, we reward the quality of posts, perhaps by community suggestion or voting.
I don't mean any offence to anyone whose won on the basis of their post count but just as an idea for the future so it's more fair for the community as a whole rather than lets face, it the same couple of people always winning. While I don't think those people are bad at making threads or something, and that we're trying to encourage activity, I think people should post because they want to post and not because they're after a banner or feel they have to compete with people who post a lot in order to be recognised within the community.
I'm not even necessarily saying don't reward people for posting often, I just think there should be more to it than simply how many times somone posts. Like, how well-thought-out something is, the kind of depth of discussion that results, and not just for the people who start the threads, but people who spend time writing out interesting points and thinking of new ways of looking at something. Not only would this encourage more community feel but I feel this type of thing could encourage activity in places such as Zelda Theory. Just a thought. I realise not everyone agree's with this but after lengthy shoutbox discussion, I thought I'd put it out there.
