(emphasis mine)
Even though numbers are not the only factor on forum reviews, let's focus on numbers for the time being.
Three new destination fora were created since August 2012: Spain/Portugal/Gibraltar Forum, Korea Forum, & USA Forum.
USA Forum has about 84
new threads
since it went live 8.5 months ago, roughly 10 new threads monthly (84/8.5=9.88).
Korea Forum generated 221
new threads
since created 30.5 months ago, about 7 threads per month (221/30.5=7.25).
Spain/Portugal/Gibraltar Forum was
established about the same time as Korea Forum and has about 281
new threads since, roughly 9 threads per month (281/30.5=9.21).
These numbers show USA Forum fares the best among the 3 newly created destination fora, and Korea Forum is the lightest trafficked. If one TBer, or more, considers USA Forum doesn't gain enough traffic, probably TB should start the annual review from say Korea Forum, the bottom performer among the 3.
(I didn't go further into post/threads ratio. If taken into account how many posts per thread generates, the low performer might be even lighter trafficked.)
