Here's an idea to reward high quality posts in a way robust to karma inflation: You could change the criteria for a follow/nofollow decision to use the time a link spends on the front page (e.g. the top 30). High scoring posts stay there fo

I've been using DynDNS ( http://dyndns.com ). They have slightly higher prices than registrars such as GoDaddy, but I trust their brand more and haven't encountered any behavior that looks suspicious. Also, I used to host my websites from

TradeWars is still alive and kicking if you're interested. Now you just need a telnet client and a server. I assume you have the former, so here are some links to the latter: http://oregonsouth.com/ice9/ and http://www.thestardock.com/
