in index.php, find:

PHP Code:

        eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";"); 


replace with:

PHP Code:

      $forum[replycount]=$forum[replycount]*2.5;
      $forum[threadcount]=$forum[threadcount]*2.5;

        eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";"); 


Replace 2.5 with whatever factor you want to multiply the thread/reply counts by.
