Actually, I should have reworded this part, so maybe an explanation will help.

This would be for those people that left when the board had a hiccup, and were not active on this site, but were active on one of the other sites, but decided to come back here, and be more active here then there (board jumpers would be the appropriate term I believe)

As far as monitoring it, not that difficult, because all of our posts threads, trades, etc for the last 2 years or more are still available, so it is easy to just go back through them and see how active a member was.

Members who are active on any of the other trade sites and were just as active on this site at the same time are eligible for votes.

I really don't think this is that accurate of a way to tell activity. I'll use myself as an example. - I do zero trades, and probably don't post every time I log in. In fact, when the board was experiencing it's "growing pains", I had trouble even logging in. Nonetheless, I am on the site multiple times a day, every day that I turn on my computer. But going by your idea, it would never show that.

Furthermore, if you are going to track activity by postings and trades, there are members on here who have not been on as long as others (less than the 2 year limit) who have more trades and posts then members who have been on alot longer.
- Another point, again using myself as an example, I've been on this site long enough to go thru several incarnations of the page, each time having my post count start back at zero.

Just some thoughts...
