Sounds nice.

Tho it just feels like it would just be a spam of introduction threads now and that's all you would see.
 
I actually think ap should be rewarded with trophy points. I'll +1 this suggestion, sounds sweet.
 
AP points is all about seeding the server and spending time to make the servers full. It doesn't make any sense to give them AP points for posting on the forums or getting trophies.
 
I could get on board with that. But why exactly do we want an AP bonus? Reporting people isn't exactly the same as filling up an empty server. Which is currently the whole point of the AP.

I could see something like this maybe. For every 10 days of server activity, determined by HLstats, AP rewards are reduced by 100 points. Maximum of 500 points. (50 days)

Meaning if you have 50 days connection time on Skial, a reward that cost 2500 AP will now cost 2000 AP.

This rewards activity. Which is the purpose of AP.

New forums members=forum activity=community activity=server activity

AP bonus="I want to keep my new AP"=play on Skial=seeding servers=server activity

Maybe a percentage based boost would work? For example if someone earned 100 points in 1 session, they would get 150 with 50% boost, 200 with 100% boost.
