   I agree with Shirley. The whole idea of belonging to a social network is to expand your contacts, to create relationships with other bloggers, to promote your blog and to increase traffic to your blog.
   
   One method of expanding your contacts and forming relationships is posting and contributing to discussion, shameless blog promotion, blogging help and group threads. When you do this you enter dialog and form relationships. Another method is by leaving meaningful comments on blogs that you are attracted to and that you regularly read. Again, when you do this you enter dialog and form relationships.
   
   In this social network blog discussion threads are kept open. That means that older threads can be resurrected at any time and added to. Also newcomers arrive everyday and they post threads on topics that are new to them but not to those who came before them. Therefore, some topics are repeated over and over but those posting to them varies and different points of view are introduced.
   
   IMO human relationship building cannot be measured in terms of statistics. It also cannot be measured in terms of popularity of subject matter in discussion threads because they are frequently reflective of the news of the day, which is subject to change or, they are taken way off track into the realm of the seemingly absurd.
   
   The point is that online relationships are formed through dialog. It makes little difference if that dialog is focused or simply a fun loving exchange. When one posts their name is linked to their profile and those who are curious click it and check out both the profile and the blogs, perhaps locating a new friend or joining a new neighborhood.
   
   I'm surprised that you would bother to collect stats on these discussions. Can you explain why chose to do so? Did you have some specific aim in mind?

   I used to work using data stats. By doing so, at blogCatalog, may be I can choose what topic that suit to this forum.
