So, based on the product of the total number of threads created and the number of views for each of those threads, they get an egg/cracked egg/dragon in their profile bit? You will most likely have to write a plugin to calculate that. And actually, that is going to add at least one query per post on a page which could be a problem on some servers. What you may want to do is create some cron job that calculates this every night and enter this value into a new column you add to the user table. It will take a little bit of doing - I'd do it on a test site first to get it working.

Tomagochis...... I loved those little things. Each of my kids had one of the early ones that you couldn't turn 'off' during school hours, so I would have to take them to work with me. I'd walk around with these things clipped to my belt, or in a pocket, and have to feed them at the oddest times (sometimes in the middle of meetings - lol).
