- Thread starter Corleone
- Start date
I think it surely contributes. But I'd settle for a close 200 group forum, rather then a 1 Million group forum with nothing better to say or add value to the site.
I do tend to look at the Who has logged in in the past 24 (or 48) hours section and the Last-Reply dates in each forum to see if people have actually been on the forum. If I see more than a couple people there or recent replies in some of the forums, then I will probably join if the forum looks promising.
If the posts are more than a year old, then that would probably stop me from joining, as in my eyes, if all the posts on a forum were a year old or more, and no one was on, or if it were only bots on, in my eyes that's what I would call a dead forum, or else people have just abandoned it over time. However, even if the posts are only 2 days old, then it doesn't matter to me, as it shows that the administrator is at least trying to get something on to his forum, so I'll gladly help out.
I can't look at the title of this thread without giggling
To me it doesn't matter really. The smaller the forum, the more close knit the community it, but the bigger it is then the more interesting people there are. They're both just as good as the other, really.

I look and see when the last post was made if it was made say 6 months ago and no one has been on in a while i don`t join
i think the post count should not matter as it might be a new forum just getting off the ground
but say its a year old and has less than 5000 posts then some thing it wrong with it

Like Fiona, I don't tend to join forums that aren't very active.
