Can theymos set it up for my forum if I agree to pay him for his work?
I want him to set up the above mentioned features if he has time.
Well I'm sure he could but you're best PMing him about that.

Anyways, thanks mprep for your significant help
If you have some programming knowledge I don't think it will be a big problem ... Try to go to Epochtalk (the new forum software) on Github , It should use the same algorithm as this forum since Activity feature will remain the same .
Will be testing out Epochtalk soon and check if it can fulfill my requirements out of the box as you said.
I am thinking of starting a student based forum and I want to add these activity algorithm as well as the potential activity algorithm to it. I searched everywhere on simple machines forum but in vain! 
Can any staff member help me with the algorithms?
Also I want that algorithm where a newbie is restricted to post twice in between 360 seconds and it gets reduced over time and activity.
I will be highly obliged if someone helps me with this

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Rough summary of what this means: If you post once per day on average, then you will eventually get the maximum number of activity points that you can get. Posting more than once per day on average is useless for increasing activity. The maximum number of activity points you can get is 1 per day, but your activity score only updates every two weeks. Therefore, it will take about 100 days to get 100 activity if you post once per day on average.
Activity is updated every hour.

What are the time limits on posting and the levels??
I know 360 seconds are for new people like me, but was wondering if there was break down somewhere on this.

Code:
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

waittime = (int)(90 - activity);

waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
