The hack you've described seems to be a little more complete, since it tries to do something with the karma. Although, I am not sure how useful that would be in a forum enviroment, whilst in a weblog enviroment it is generally used to 'highlight' certain items.

imho, karma is a necessity for every forum package. because it encourages members to participate. for example, you can give a gift above a certain point. so people in your "community" probably try to gain points which means more posts. technology itself is not sufficient to create a community which is the main target for a forum software. there are lots of forum software available free or not, but they almost all think only the technology, not the community. people visit a forum (or a site) if they have a good reason to do that. one of the reasons is to be gifted for participation. more participation means earning more. all of us know "build it they will come" is not correct anymore, because people have _tons of_ different choices for free forums. please look at, if still available, compaq support community for a true community.
another point is that ubbthreads have good hack for front page. it consists of top threads, top poster, most popular threads etc not directly the forums available. but it lacks such a karma hack. ubb threads only have rating users/articles not a exact karma system.

fudforum seems to be most professional forum script around. but it lacks some community related items, such as karma hack, or zapping of forums (maybe a kind of this is available in fudforum, i'm not sure). remember the "age" concept in the old BBS days. haven't you ever put tintin to increase your age Smile

these all are proofs to implement a karma hack or any other community related features. karma is the first one and here anyone can send his "community" related items.
