It seems reasonable that the largest Cougar fan forum and its participation would offer some level of indication as to the current state of fan excitement and engagement.

By looking at CB's stats its rather stunning how much CB's partcipation in terms of posts have dropped off in recent years. Naturally you may assume it's due to it being the offseason, yet when you look at previous years May numbers vs this May it's eye opening just how much participation has slowed down... It's a considerable amount.

Is cougarboard a microcosm of the overall fanbase or does this site offer zero indication?
