A Boards metric I would like to know...

Individual Player Post:Comment ratio

I'm confident that on a global level comments outnumber posts by a wide margin. However I have a feeling that the number of players that post a lot and comment very little is very high. If this turns out to be correct, then that may possibly be statistical proof of a trend many of us will be very unsurprising to realize:

There are many more people coming to the Boards to just 'drop off' topics by the dozens than there are people who both post and comment regularly.

Now I am no expert on this topic, but I think it's a fair assessment that to have a sustainable online community you need players that both post and comment regularly, or else this place just turns into a glorified inbox of complaints, ideas and youtube links.
