Would it be possible to think about having a review of messages system whereby people can indicate if a message was useful and hence people get 'brownie' points for posting interesting/useful messages. On par with Paul's Karma system...
A system like this would be fairly close to Paul's plug-in since it would be about letting people see interesting messages but it would be nice to see this in the official release of the forum.
It may be nice to be able to look for high ranking messages on this basis in the search system rather than having them coming up top in a forum since this would play against the latest posted message system. People already have the ability to look at a specific persons posts so if they find a good poster they can view his last posts...
