To sum it up, a Merit Source is important, but there are many more factors that play their roll in driving traffic to the local board. A largish number of posts per day is probably essential to get thing moving.
Thanks for the detailed analysis, DdmrDdmr! I know I can count on you for accurate data analysis.
I agree there needs to be a large number of posts per day "to keep the ball rolling" but that's what I'm trying to do - sparking interest back into the Romanian local board - through merit.
I think that if people will see that merit is being awarded there, they will be more active.
