I have a feeling it will help the ones here. It wont do anything for newer users although we might get a post with a lot of comments that gets tweeted out and someone sees it. That person might like the engagement and take a look.

But overall the idea is to have engagement so when new people do show up here, they are able to see activity. As I wrote last night, nothing worse than a dead forum (in the old days). People go where there is some action.
