I personally do not care much about the chaska meter. it does not reflect much, except the fan activity on the forum.
Our Forum is special. One of my friends was really surprised when I told her that only after Sidharths entry did our forum see a surge of OS and FFs.
We always tend to have Serious discussions and its pretty enlightening. I like that. Now we have our fan-fun activity too. So I am satisfied.
I just make sure i hit the chaska meter star thingy when I come to the forum and thats that. I like as many posts as I can.
