Ninjastic.space reports that the forum has seen over 1.87 million posts since the beginning of the year, and this number is expected to reach around 1.9 million by the end of the year.
Last year that number was ~2.6 million and year before that ~2.9 million that just confirms something we are all aware, that forum activity has been on the decline for years and with the mixer campaign ban I expect numbers to go down even more.

Mixed feelings on this. Surely less posts is not a bad thing per se. Just remember the merit system was introduced to reduce the number of posts (but increase the quality).
On the other hand, reducing activity too much is bad for the forum, which has already his own problems (outdated platform, attraction and retention of new users)
