I played around with the numbers on Vietnam Thread 3 and the TCSS thread.

Vietnam TCSS

Now I realize due to fluctuating popularity, that Thread 3 probably got a lot of its posts/views when it was more active than it is now.

The 2 are close in number of posts average per day, TCSS with unexpectedly slim lead in that category. Since TCSS messages are briefer and seem more numerous, I thought the difference would be bigger. I expected TCSS would have WAY more posts per day than Thread 3.

But the one number that jumps out is the 2100 views of Thread 3 per day vs 700 for TCSS. Triple. Wow. That equates to 190 views per post for Thread 3 vs 56 for TCSS. That's a lot of readers, a lot of clicks.
