Karma should probably best work on a 1-year rolling window. Your karma score only shows the last year's worth of karma, so it encourages activity.

I don't think encouraging activity is necessarily good. A lot of comments do not really contribute something useful to the discussion. I'd rather people just posted when they have something really useful or insightful to say. Less comments means less time wasted for the readers.
