If I would, like stop answering and posting questions on R&S, would it (The "Top Contributor" thingie) go away?

Yes. The YA staff says the top contributor banners are "dynamic". Meaning you could lose them if you don't continue to give quality answers.

Top Contributors
Q: What is a Top Contributor?
A Top Contributor is someone in the Answers community who, through their participation on Answers, has shown that they are knowledgeable in a particular category. Each Answers user can be a Top Contributor in up to three categories.
Q: How are Top Contributors determined?
The Top Contributor badge is dynamic, and you earn it by being an active participant who contributes quality answers in a particular category on Answers. Anyone can earn a Top Contributor badge as it does not depend on points or level.
Top Contributors are not permanent, which is to say you must continue to be an active answerer in order to retain a Top Contributor badge. Similarly, even if you are not a Top Contributor today, you can earn the badge by contributing high quality answers in any category or multiple categories of your choosing.
The more actively you contribute quality answers and best answers to a particular category, the more likely you will earn a badge for your contributions in that category. Just like featured users or category leaders, the badge is another way to honor and feature community members who are actively participating and knowledgeable in particular categories on Answers.
This is our first version of the Top Contributor badge, and we acknowledge that it is not perfected, yet. We will be continually improving the logic and heuristics used to choose Top Contributors in an effort to ensure that people who receive them are the most deserving. We’ve heard your feedback and we understand that there are concerns about abuse of this badge, and we will change the rules for Top Contributor as needed to combat gaming or abuse.

Someone on here told me that you have to stay active to keep the "top contributor" tag. Might want to look at the Y/A blog or something to figure it out.
Personally, I don't care for it.. but I love being here.

Yes - it says so in the Yahoo!Answers Blog. The tag depends on your activity in a category during the last week.

I think if you post this several times, on all the forums, you might find an answer

Don't know I got tagged with it too, I thought to begin with that it was like a target, and next thing I knew they stuck one on me. I don't think you can get rid of it but don't know.

It's a tattoo. Not removable - except with a belt sander.
