Apropos the startup of the forum mentioned by popgun (member number 4), by the end of the day after Guth launched it on 14 April 2013, there were 22 members. That doesn't include member number 1 called Admin who I suspect is Guth's alter ego.
When I looked this morning, 10 of those members were still active and 1 is hyperactive. That means 50% of the founding contingent are still active on the forum. That means they've visited the site since September 1, 2014.
I’m no expert on Internet forums (this is the very first one I joined) but that seems a good participation rate to me.
The forum stats say there are now 1,590 members, so the forum continues to grow, although short of manually counting, which I'm not going to do, it’s hard to say how many of them are active.
