What defines a "top contributor"?

Bitcointalk has 200,000+ users. The new forum is aiming to get members from the 1,000 most prominent, knowledgeable, understanding, eloquent, smart, etc. among them. The most important criterion is deep interest in Bitcoin.

No trolls. No lurkers. Later on some part of the forum will be made public so that the lurkers can also benefit from our work.

Correct me if I am mistaken but I thought there was already a private VIP section of these forums already. Why redo what is already done?
