I think a much better indicator is how many people are now posting. Only a couple of weeks ago, there were maybe a dozen posters on ALL the TER boards, the "fucked up fivesome" that accounted for 95% of all the non Photo board posts, and maybe 7-10 other posters like Dev or Fish that would pop in an make a post every couple of days. Fast forward to today and we have dozens of people posting today alone, not hundreds like in the good old days, but a HUGE step up from what we had just a few days ago, even if the "users online" numbers don't seem to have risen.
