then I stopped because I hate math.

But...85% of the posts here are Staff.
And think about it this way. Is the Forum really inactive? Or is the Junkyard inactive?
We have different people with different interests.
Gaia kids post in the Gaia section all the time, and usually nothing else. Same with the Writing kids, JY kids, Discussion kids, etc.

All of our boards are active, just with different groups of people.
So maybe we're not inactive, just not exploratory enough.
