Checking stats

[Shawn Gossman]

How often do you check your forum stats?

Do you just rely on the ones built into the vBulletin platform? Or do you also use Google Analytics or something similar?

What metrics are you watching the most and why?

I was using Google Analytics but it was eating into my time and I was over complicating things. I might give them another go.
The VB ones are fine for me.
Number of contributions
Number of members logging on
Number of new topics and the Active member numbers are the basics.

GA4 seems to be better but it can be difficult to interpret at times.
