The first question would be: "Why do we have the board in the first place?"

Historically, I think it was to replace the Top Contributors, All Time leaderboard, which had become stale since at least half the people on it didn't post frequently anymore (and at least one of them had left permanently). I think that one had existed both for motivational and reputational effects. (If you want people to respect and listen to the top 10 posters, it helps if they know who those are.)
