A few clicks gets us that view, and it re-affirms what @Nick mentions. The decline in forum activity was occurring well before we began to focus more on Classifieds and before the narrowing of NCR scope.

As others have suggested, with more platforms available to do many of the things previously done on Bike Hub it's not surprising.

I guess it depends a lot on your perspective and what Bike Hub is to you. Forum activity has steadily declined, a little grim? Perhaps. But not unexpected.

In 2010 I left a promising career at a great company to pursue the Classifieds opportunity within Bike Hub. With that lens on it's far from grim reading:
