Hummmnnn. On our forums alone we have been averaging over 4 times this rate of posts for years, and because we actively encourage users to pick up related threads, we have 5.3 posts per topic. And the discounts the 10x plus Google driven browsing of previous answers. Unanswered posts run at 6.2% which is a bit higher at we would like, but many of these "unanswered" posts are announcements and volunteer-submitted examples so the true rate is probably under 5%. Are you suggesting that we should *degrade* our current commitment and forums to this "high" standard? ;-)

If you look at sites that successfully launched (like our graduation) you get a sense of the commitment. For example, a WordPress support site recently launched [2].

A little math suggests they have 27 + 27*2.0 = total 81 posts/day.
This sounds doable for us.
