Well,

if a rep is only posting in fun-threads it makes me think about the expertise this guy/girl has.

Take Luke (Chilihost) as an example... Nice and friendly guy, very helpful, knowledgable who participates in fun AND work-related threads likewise.

Another good example is Chad Belleville (chadknowslaw): he can not contribute much to our 'basic' work of designing sites, choosing layouts and picture sets, writing html or other code BUT he socializes and is a nice and fun guy who tries to help where he can (looking forward to meeting you in LA, Chad) well and has a SHITLOAD of customers.

A "bad" rep only jumps the bandwaggon and posts when there is need for outsourcing, content, hosting, programming, design etc which needs to be done. I chose NOT to write about such a company since I did not use any of the companies and can't tell anything about their services and expertise.

However I used and will use the services of the guys and girls patricipating actively in this community.
