So- it lives?

Is this the expected pace for forum growth? In 2 month's we've got 150 registered folks, but it seems like the active user number drops daliy- right now it's at 36. Any thoughts on this? Was it this quiet in it's previous life? How can there be 36 active users when it seems all of the posts are from the same 10 or so folks? Are the 10 of us SO lame that we're scaring away the crowds?!?
