Yes but, there are regulars at the Spirituality Forum who can be relied upon in a Pavlovian sense to regurgitate the JW/anti-JW and Christian/atheist themes which keep threads alive but add no new content to previous threads on the same topics. So the GF regulars would be foolish to try to emulate the SF regulars, for thread longevity, by this means.

JS, the difference is qualitative: 100% of All Spirituality Forum Threads and Posts are (by your own description) conversational in nature. Zero Games. Less than 3% of All General Forum Threads and Posts are conversational. (gb)
Footnote: 891/32,359 = 2.75%. Please see the thread titled, "WAG & STG & General Conversation", started on this date.

The Red Hot Pawn General Forum has finally begun percolating.
Wonder why, especially since the WAGS are still here.

So, what are you suggesting?

# get your definitions correct. A thread is dead after it became inactive for 60 days and is closed. Otherwise it still lives and can easily be revived.
# If you want a measure of living threads, it's not the number of posts in them. Look at the time span on page 1 on page 2... You will notice that now there are red bubbles on page 1...There have been times (since the advent of the colour scheming)when the yellow and green ones went well into page 2.
# You new club will probably divert further posting from the GF.
' Oh and there is summer now in middle Europe, reduce your expectations on Europeans posting under these circumstances.
