To me the stats are just an interesting feature of this software, nothing more - I don't intend that there be any ranking system or other info beyond the basics that are there. It's just fun seeing the actual numbers on various people who have been around here a while.
It's pretty hard for someone to actually bump their stats here articifically, that's part of the advantage of having a forum with more than 60,000 posts spanning 8 years

And if someone did start posting rubbish regardless to try and influence something as trivial as the numbers, my delete key will counter that just as fast anyway.
