what should i do?

keep 😊

Keep, but we need to find ways to get more folks here.

I think it’s an excellent idea—One thing though, doesn’t PHP boards have a member statistics page?

You mean other than clicking on Member List on the bar above?

My only concern with the member update is that it makes people post just to increase there post count and it makes for a lot of pretty cruddy posts that lack any substance.

One word answer posts dont really add anything and the member update will encourage it.

I wouldn’t do it manually since it is built in.  As far as substance is concerned, you’re right on that front.
