I've had some comments that there has been a lot less activity on the boards of late. I went into the innards of the EA and started looking at statistics on usage. Over the past year we have an average of ~260 daily member logins to the forums. Typically, we do have periods of extra heavy usage (full moons?, holidays, publicity about eunuchs, whatever). In addition, typically we can expect that there will be about 5 and more often 10 times the number of non-members on the boards than members. That hasn't changed much either. In greatest measure, the same applies to new posts: there are peaks and valleys, but the averages are pretty steady at about 45 - 55 new posts daily. New registrations always "come in spurts" (terrible, I know), but we are up about 120 members from last month, after removing old, inactive registrations (inactive for 365 days = deleted).

Below are just some quick look-see's, as of 0842 CST, 2007 November 18:

Does inactive mean no posts or no logins?
