I was just checking my forum stats and I discovered that member count does not tell the full story. You could have 5k members but only 20 are actually posting. I started looking at active users per day, replies per thread, even the time people spend reading. I think tracking real engagement is the best honestly:D
What numbers do you track beyond “member count”?
It's from the forum's members daily activities that you're going know how your community is progressing. In my opinion, it's the best way to track your forum's success.
