Like it says in the poll, I'm okay with it. I'm not entirely for or against it, it doesn't matter to me whether or not we have a box. If it works, then yay, the forum is active. If it doesn't work, then we get no box, and the forum goes back to the way it was.
The only problem I see is dedication to keeping the post count. Not the members, but the people checking this. It didn't work at EPL because no one really reminded anyone "Hey man, how about posting a little more?" or enforced the post count, even if it was part on the members' responsibility. That's all I'm saying.
