    if this ratio of your forum is high it shows you will have good future

    for comparing with other forums the two forum must have almost same situations such as audiances languages countries internet connection its software and etc...

    this ratio for me is 3.1(my alexa rank in my country is 368)mine is vb
    other forum with similar situation is 2.1(its alexa rank is 133 im my country)
    then I think my forum will have better future

    what do u think?

    What's your country out of curiousity? And Alexa ranking isn't based on active users..it's just based on visitors period. So having a high active members ratio isn't really a factor. If anything a site is more profitable if you can have a good percentage bounce. The key is to make those bounces profitable from an ad hopefully.

    it is not about alexa ranking.just estimating your vb forum will have better future and more traffic than other forums or not.time of registering of the two forums is a factor too .look at my comparing.all are on footer of your VB
