    Monthly active users are an important metric for companies trying to sell advertising. It’s less important for a community based application where profits are irrelevant. What is more important is how valuable the content is to you, and if it’s not, you can put in an effort to provide content you, and others, find valuable.

      Although less important in other places, knowing that there probably about 400 people sharing most of the content (1% of 40k), is still important.

      I think a negative trend is really important… if we are shrinking we are shrinking. Content will decline if the trend isn’t reversed.
