of its threads die with a dozen or fewer posts:

[b]> Spirituality Forum: 53/210 = 25% <------> General Forum: 90/210 = 43% = 70%
Greater Volume of General Forum Thread casualties (90/53).

Does this contrast illustrate the difference between Life & Death? (gb)[/b]

Maybe Life and Lifesupport?

Spirituality threads live longer for one obvious reason: Endless wrangling.

Posters disgorge the same feeble arguments over and over and over and...

Perhaps there are only so many subjects to be covered in the spirituality forum, usually along the lines of 'god exists/god doesn't exist; The general forum is much more, one might say, general; there are a lot more things to talk about. Maybe that's why there are more new threads and they don't last as long. I don't see that as a problem.

If so, why start threads in this forum?

Maybe it's a sign that the quality of these multitudinous original posts is lacking. Not all threads deserve response.

"Not all threads deserve response."

... or maybe the audience has become so distracted that it's lost its focus.

Here's your formula for failure, Bobby:

There are 24 posts in this thread and 10 of them are yours.

What have we learned so far?
