Awesome.  This would also take care of those stupid threads that I got
tired of reading because they turned into a different subject all
together.  

I'm not sure you can do it with percentiles though.  Postive scores
would never get to 0, which you'ld definately want.  I think a better
thing to do would be to have it change by a set amount each time.
Positive scores should drop by say 3-5 unless the current score was
under that, then should drop to 0.  Negative scores would do the same.
That way old threads no longer existing would eventually end up at 0
in case some other dingo came along and started a new topic with the
same subject.

Wheeeee
