Adam, I'm afraid those numbers about members and guests on the board are bogus - I believe they are bots rather than real people. Every bulletin board I know of shows similar inflated numbers.
"The times they are a'changin' "
My guess is that Facebook has put a crimp in bulletin board participation, just like Facebook pretty much killed chat rooms.
In both BB's and chat rooms, a sense of community develops, and people went to the BB's or chats to catch up with their friends, as much as they did to seek information. Now that function is fulfilled by Facebook.
