 * I don´t write reviews often, and almost never negative ones.
 * But this plugin is coded in such a way that it logs the user activity into the
   wp_posts table. The same table, that you want to have as clean as possible will
   end up absolutely taken over by this plugin.
 * Question to the developer:
    why doesn´t your plugin use separate table?
 * To understand:
    I inherited a wordpress instance, where the wp_posts database
   grew to be over 250 MB, of the 575.652 entries were 560.000 entries generated
   by this plugin! This will of course affect the overall speed.
 * It has taken me hours to find why my wp_posts table is so bloated.
 * for anyone searching:
    this plugin adds new rows into the following table: wp_posts
   column: post-type entry: activity
