*These numbers currently go from July 29th --> October 8th* over 72 days! Link to all pics: imgur.com/a/sn1hDSome relevant information regarding activity the past month: I used MatLab to create these plots using a method called Least-Squares Fitting. In summary, I used equations to plot a straight line through a bunch of points to get the overall trend. First plot is of all days. Second plot is of the previous 32 days. Basically activity is declining. In the first plot, the slope is -130. In the second plot, the slope is -68. This means that in general, activity is declining. However, this number has been getting smaller, meaning the rate of decline has been slowing, which is a good thing. since beginning
since past 32 days

~Posts, Threads, and Members Table~ Note:According to the front page, there are 2,337 total members, but a total of 2449 members have registered according to the website's analytics. This probably means around 112 members have deleted their accounts.

Rank Breakdown & Activity Levels Rank Breakdown Activity Levels There is no solid way to measure the activity level of the forum. It could be done by how many forumers are below a certain post amount, how many people haven't logged on for a certain amount of time, or a combination of both.
I was going to try to evaluate by both ways, but for me, the member list does not accurately tell when someone was last online. I randomly clicked on about 10 people's names, and 7 of them had posted after the date that they were last online. Then there are invisible members, etc etc.
So, considering that option all but butchered, I looked at how many accounts are below a certain post count.
Percentage of users at 0 posts: 32%
Percentage of users at or below 10 posts: 51%
Percentage of users at or below 20 posts: 56%
Percentage of users at or below 100 posts: 73%
Percentage of users at or below 200 posts: 79%
Past here, it is completely subjective on how to judge the activity level of the community, but I think it's safe to say that at the VERY least, half the profiles are either secondary accounts or abandoned. But honestly, it is probably closer to around 70%. That means out of the 2,400 members we have, 600 - 800 of them are actually regularly active members.
Again, this doesn't mean those members aren't new, or just have a low post count. But compared to what the original WCF looked like, I think it is an accurate approximation.

These are super interesting status to me and I can say that as someone who frequents a similar forum, there have been very similar declines in activity and also in members registering and not making posts.

Funny. I was just wondering about the health of the forums now that the initial rush has worn off. Good to see things have leveled out. Safe and steady.
