Say whatever you like about forumlancing, but it's visible.
Keep in mind this is a personal bias. I personally try and keep my roleplay in-game as best I can, only using the forums if the game's limited chat message length just won't do. I keep my forumlancing pretty limited and as such also read the (RP portions of the) forums very little. And I've been here a while. I'd imagine a pretty large portion of our playerbase barely glances at the forums.
It's visible if you're personally into it, virtually invisible if you aren't.
As for the proposal: it's a step in the right direction, as I think the current activity-time-based OF system is dreadful, so any change is bound to be a good change. On the other hand, I don't really think we need to further encourage people to barely log in and instead spend their time typing up fanfic on the forums. Still, probably a net positive to make this change.
