    Just be sure you have enforced spamming (and I mean pointless thread) and duplicate thread rules in place. If not, then you'll find some sharing members starting new threads that have been brought up time & time again, or are completely not worth clicking into.

    That said, sure, it's a great way to thank your members!

    Actually a sensible way would be to implement a % based scheme based on a members popularity...So basically it doesnt make sense how many things they publish..its the content and usefulness that will count....Popularity will be slowly going up and rapidly degrading after a few days...that will force them to keep sharing useful information with the rest members or help others in need...

    What do you think?

    Great if well thought out to avoid obvious fake votes which will become quit popular.

    It would only make sense if your forum is for webmasters who would have an adsense account. The normal person does not have an adsense account.

    Make it rev share but leave small ads until you have over 1000 active members and a few thousand threads then make the blocks slightly bigger. I'm still working on getting the forum size up there before enlarging ad space.
