With those stats, How many are friends, relatives or people you bribed to post to get those stats up. How long did it take to get to that amount of posts?

Often than not, those kind of stats can be associated with people you know though this might be one of the few exceptions.

Do they seem okay for what? I mean, they are numbers, so what is it you are wanting them to 'say'?

For a forum that's 3 months old, yes they are great.

For a forum that is 4 years old, not so good.

It's all relative. If you're happy with the numbers, you're doing a good job!

Yeah, I know.

I hope you have a good backup strategy in place. Growing fast is great, but it has it's own set of problems also.

(I didn't realize the site was only three months old - that's a lot of posts!)

One of the other sites about the same subject opened before us, and had about 30,000 posts less than us last I checked

Your Openmike seems to be disproportionately large at 64,000 posts

I was about to say the same thing. most of the responses are basically spam. one word replies to somehow, boost statistics which is not a good thing. Quality over quantity any day of the week and nothing less accepted.
