The following explanation of how activity is computed isn't very clear:

"The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count/visitormessages/group discussion/Blog entries of the ten most active user and comparing it to own post count. This can be set to count only the last X days, f.e. 21 days."

Currently our "Timeframe for Activity" is set to 21 days.

This is how I imagine (incorrectly I'm sure) activity percentages are computed:

1) The activity count is based on posts, visitor messages, group discussions, and blog entries. Correct?
2) You find the 10 most active users based on activity count from the last 21 days. Correct?
3) How then is the average post per day (PPD) calculated? Each of the 10 most active users will have their own PPD over the 21 days. What do you do with these 10 individual PPD's. Take the average of the averages?
4) The activity percent for a given user is then computed by calculating his activity count over 21 days and then comparing this number with the count computed in step 3. Correct?

I think a more detailed explanation of how activity is calculated will help answer a lot of questions posters have, like "why do does everyone have 99.9% activity?".

I appreciate any help. Thanks.
