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
