people contributing to the forums? You look at a distro as small as #! Linux, and their forum activity is even bigger then the openSUSE one.
Is openSUSE losing steam?
Many people don’t visit the forums unless they have major problems. Maybe a good reflection on openSUSE?

Forums are typically where people ask for help. Low traffic = fewer
problems in my nearly 20 years’ experience doing online support.

No. It’s gaining steam. Yes, I’m biased.

Opensuse is getting that good & losing steam? though not super accurate check here:
DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.

I wonder… how many post per day? 10,000, 100,000??
I believe somebody needs to post the opensuse.org forum stats so we can
get an idea of just HOW much forum traffic would be “larger” than
opensuse.org traffic.
IMHO, there are about 15 different opensuse.org forums that receive more
than 200 posts a day. And while it is true that there are a few people
that participate more than the rest, it’s still activity.
IMHO, I’d take an experienced openSUSE user over the plethora of
meaningless adhoc guesses given by the inexperienced Ubuntu user.
Just my own observation. Though I do like the Ubuntu community… just
has bad signal to noise ratio in their forums/lists.
