The merit system is matured enough that we don't need those stats now.
There are nearly more than 10+ posts on page 1 at the time of writing this.
I don't know which statistic you're talking about, it's true that sometimes post stats fill one page, to start, but meta has heavy traffic, for that not all statistical posts are boring, on the contrary they are profitable, making it easy for new and old members to review them, because there are several statistical posts that are updated every week in the meta.
example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139250.0 and also this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3078328.0This has been going on for years and is still being updated, until recently.
So talking about a new board (statistics) doesn't seem necessary, because only 1-2 people do this skill, If, a new board is formed, I swear only 1-2 people post there, so Meta is: a worthy place for those who do, if you mind just ignore it, solve the problem, safe is not it.
