Its cyclic.
You cannot form a set of average values based upon a snap shot.
I have personally noticed that the amount of 'noise' on SH4 forums is far less than what it was when SH3 was released.
The forum rolls over much slower than the previous release.
All that means to me is that there is less people posting. It seems there is a few people perhaps a dozen or so that post on a regular basis further skewing the statistics.
On the other hand I have noticed an influx of 'new users' which is always a good thing.
Often these 'new users' post and the community jumps at them with 'use the search' or 'Oh thats old news' really making them feel welcome. Think about that before 'you' press the submit button next time.
