People's posting habits went BERSERK in August. Most of the people getting modded or low-post count lurkers or old-timers coming out of retirement.
I am not sure what you're directly referencing about August but I would offer a word of caution. Post count is a double edged sword. A low post person can have a well thought out opinion or statement just as much as a high post count person. They may have arrived on board late or simply spend their time doing other things rather than be on the internet.
This board has been around long enough that I am starting to think some of the high post people get a lot of leeway in what they say. By that I mean that they may make a joke or respond in an almost private conversation that is off topic (threadjack) without any repercussions. They may contribute nothing to the thread, but everyone knows (so and so) and no one seems to mind.
