One cannot judge a caravan forum's popularity by a total activity count.
A proper analysis has to be done re :- how the activities break down. Those +1s and Likes can make an activity count look massive but if removed and the real posts are collated a different scenario develops.
Also among caravanning forums, when all the spurious Non- Caravanning posts are taken out, only then can a true picture emerge as to it's popularity, but that also has to be balanced against the number of regular posters.
When we look at the opposition :- From low to high popularity. :-
There is one caravan forum struggling to even raise one caravanning post a day.
Another forum produces a significant number of high quality caravanning posts daily.
So this CC forum lies within the more popular with caravanners and long may it remain so.
Cheers..................K

I agree K, you cannot judge a caravan forum's popularity by a total activity count.
My humble view would be that unless there are KPI's set to forum objectives, you have limited capabilities to measure success.
Of course another view would that forum objectives may not create or hinder popularity - populatity is typically subject to the consumer view. As you state, "this CC forum lies within the more popular....."
I'm sure some views would differ; and unless CC and peer forums provided similar factual stat's it could be hard to measure and conclude say the top three to five.
People and popularity is fickle/fuzzy - look at the wider world today :)
As I've said before in other threads, I think this forum is great for newcomers and knowledge exchange; but past this I find it not always a positive experience - just my view and of course many will differ.
And to conclude and agree with your last comment - long may it remain.
Let's hope threads, such as Tigerfish's "how do we move on" help further evolve CT.
