Monk's thread asking gold members to start threads got me wondering how good our threads really were which in turn got me thinking about proxies for quality. As one possible (flawed) statistic, I looked at average posts per thread. JIC anyone cares...
I've separated out forums where there are fewer than 20 threads as these tend to be fairly specialized and, in my mind, qualitatively different. Note that the columns won't add since I omitted HoF forum from the totals (so those posts wouldn't be counted twice)
