You know it's not like the French Forum has a legion of posts either. I just opened the 'v16 Corner' and the first 50 posts span from last Friday to March (of this year). 50 topics in 7+ months. The 'Current versions(v16-v15-R)' first 50 is from yesterday to July. These are the English ones. The French area is a little more active.
At a glance I think this list is fairly representative at least of English speaking users. I'll say one thing for interacting via a mailing list - I like being able to have iNug as a subfolder in one of my email accounts. Makes it easy to search (I've got the iNug going back to '06), easy to interact with and I don't have to log into something else. I still find the forums unflatteringly reminiscent of '90s era forums though supporting images is nice.
