Hmm, I like the incentive aspect of a frequent fliers approach, but thinking of class-type reunions, you do get invited back no matter how active a member of your class you were...
Maybe the way to go would be in both directions. A single "frequent posters" board, whose members would change over time, and a number of "class of xxx" boards, whose members would be those who registered during those years?

People have all sorts of motivations. Why do unsupportive people go to support groups?
