This is very gradual: something like 10% over 6 months. If a user is very committed, they can "renew" their vote every few weeks by uncommitting and recommitting.
Be sure to "renew" your commitment every few months!
For example, my "renewal" brought our commitment score down to 18%, and then up to 20%!

Sorry to post on an almost dead topic but...
What if we just created a google site with a huge Lego Robotics information database?

Nope. You want a Wiki? A few for Lego Mindstorms already exist - contribute to them, if you want.
The point of StackExchange is Questions and Answers - and it's the best I've ever seen at it.
This is StackExchange:

Patience, young Jedi, patience.

It is a very good website that has lots of information on NXT.
No, MindBoards is purely forum. I can't edit your posts, and neither can you mine. (Admins/Mods don't count.) It's not anything like Reddit, either. The blog factor is pretty low.

Sorry but I don't think LEGO will go for that knowing how most companies work. Plus LEGO would need permission to use StackExchange on their site because I'm pretty sure it's trademarked.

I didn't mean that LEGO host StackExchange - you can't do that anymore in SE 2.0. What I meant was, to simply provide a link to the Mindstorms StackExchange proposal.

I think he means that there might be problems mentioning StackExchange on lego.com
I'm not sure of the legalities in this
