Actually, what is named here as Kienja's system, is a ranking system that I proposed as alternative to Kienja's original system, which I found lacking in playfulness and humor.
The ranking is not important at all. It is just tied to the number of posts, hence a quantative indicator and no indication of the quality of the posts.
I think we better do some efforts to get daemonforums.org listed on the major BSD websites, then waste our time discussing a ranking system that just means nothing
BTW the adminstrator of bsdforums.org probably has copyright on his ranking system.
