I doubt you'll get every board to use the same 3rd party stats, even if it is just an image being hotlinked.

And you really can't just pass it off as a "novelty" - you're ranking them by the post count.

I can get the board up to #2 tomorrow if you realy want me to, but what's the point of that?

You're right... I probably wouldnt get every board onboard hotlinking the image but any board looking to justify their "banner costs" would be able to show the numbers to their sponsors and hopefully close the deal...

Its a double edged sword...

As for post count... any board can be number #1 with enough post bots (and in some cases that is the case) so you're absolutely right but there are also many other factors which play into the post count of a board such as private forums for example.

If i created something which crunched the numbers would you be willing to be the first board to use it and possibly set the standard?
