No site can ever be 'all things to all people'.
Very probably, statistics regarding the number of posts are available to Admin - daily, monthly, year-to-year.
Nobody says that data must be shared with the plebs though.
The jokey light-weight threads will always attract those who are so-inclined.
But I reckon the meaty stuff - sex, politics, religion, environment etc has more potential for growth.
Like it or lump it, people enjoy a good scrap.
(Or shall we say 'an interesting exchange of views' ?)
The proof of the pudding ?
Just check out the number of pages in threads like Brexit or the McCanns.

Do you agree?
As Julie said it’s a pity some lovely members have left, and as an oldie here meself I naturally miss them all, but I live in hope that they will return someday.
