How active a forum is is kind of a sweet spot, to this end forums usually add more branches if too busy to thin out the activity, or hold off when its too quiet,

In the past I mostly left whirlpool forums because they started getting spammed with hundreds of "help me" threads from new users, many of which already had there question answered by the 5 similar threads on the same page, and it was becoming an effort to dig though them all, this was back in like november 2017 mind, and it seems to have returned to a good pace at a quick glance

EEVblog I leave and return to based on how busy things are and the mix between smart greybeard chat and newbie stuff,

Here I am still the newbie, so apologies in advance, this forum feels a bit quiet to me, expecially in certain areas, but there are lots of eyes on posts, so either lots of bots, or lots of silent users, but not much activity,

But for this topic I don't mind it too much, as some of this stuff you cant reply with until you have a cloud free night, or you spend 2 days fiddling with things, etc, so having too much activity could loose some of that more in detail slow stuff that really spells out the knowledge and wisdom for newbies.
