The SDMB [ranks 119th in total posts against all major messageboards](http://rankings.big-boards.com/?sort=posts&p=all), so your figures may be a bit hyperbolic. Many other boards either have sponsors with deep pockets, or have a lot more advertising. Under the circumstances, I think we are doing pretty well.

It doesn’t seem to have numbers on SDMB traffic (were you able to dig any up?). But unique users per day doesn’t seem like a great metric anyway.

Check out [number 1932](http://rankings.big-boards.com/?sort=members&p=97). Talk about boring discussions!

I’m assuming that number 1933 is a glitch of some kind.
