1 more vote from me. I love those name conventions <3

However, post count doesnt indicate how competent user is. Maybe he asks too much, he loves spamming or simply he is very active. The more accurate way to assess is the number of times he is thanked. But at the end of the day, ranking is just spice of the main course, I'd rather spend more time to improve the forum content. The success of the forum depends upon how good the content is.
