not noticing much in the way of new posts a day. Maybe we need a forum competition or something to remind players we still have forums. no matter how bad they are.

Those are some pretty sad stats.

EvE is dying.

Ccp created eve, ccp is killing eve.

Or maybe have CCP devs post on a regular basis to encourage interest and participation.

Quality before quantity.  
I rather have less people posting good, well thought over stuff than an armada posting spam.

Would you prefer owners who have 365 accounts (and more) to log in with a different one every day to make the stats look better?

No, but the same could be said for the logged-in player count as shown here.

[http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility](http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility)

Those 20k-under 30k users per day logged in, how many of them are alts?

Im sure many.

And i am also sure it wont be too much longer until ccp HIDES that forum stat page just like they try to hide their dying subscription numbers.

This is a MMORPG that is supposed to be alive and well dude. Im sure runescape or warhammer or lord of the rings online or freaking star wars online still have forums that are more active and alive than our new forums.

But keeps sticking your head in the sand camel.

Facebook and reddit and a few other fora have an eve online section and are almost unmoderated. You will find a large amount of vocal players over there.  
I am sure no one cancelled their subscription because ‘eve forums are slow’.  
I’ll go back to sicking my head in a 'sand camel’😁
