Problem found.

Consider this when you make a contest (example):

-a member has 10 posts and 5 topics made
-other member has 6 posts and 2 topics made

You think, sure, the first one will win he is more active, but the way you did it, it makes the second one to win:
10/5=2pts
6/2=3pts

That's not logic, please consider that in the next contest Cyan.

Not to start an argument, but I did think about this a lot. The reason I divided the post count by the topic count is because that shows posts per thread, though I guess I should have divided it by the overall threads on the forum, rather than just the ones created by that user. I'm always looking for the best way to mark the pts.But remember, it doesn't matter how it's marked, as long as it's all marked the same.

Now lets recount:
(10*5)/7=7pts
(6*2)/7=2pts
