[QUOTE=TheNinerAlchemist;396875]That’s a good idea, but you and I both know that it’s usually indeterminable.[/QUOTE]
If it were determinable, there would be no reason to vote…
Plus, it’d be no fun if the real best poster won every time, because it would just be run vs suvivor.

No, I meant it was individually indeterminable. So what you actually end up with is a rubric which consists of whether you’ve met the person and if you like their posts, like I said earlier. The only way to use your method, which is based on contributions to Niner Nation as a whole, is to know as an individual everything about everyone on this board in regards to our school. Otherwise, it’s really just based on posts and a huge bias towards people you’ve met.
Actually, run is one of the few exceptions because he does something tangibly beneficial to Niner Nation ON this board, which is track down all of the Internet stories for us. But aside from that, how can you really determine if…say, Ninerballin and…uh…Powerbait are contributing more to Niner Nation as a whole? Unless you know them personally, it’s really just guesswork because very few of us (myself included until I get my computer back and can really get Niner History 4901 going) do anything genuinely helpful on this board. We usually just make bad jokes and participate in meaningless arguments…like this one.

That too.
