You @jesta are really doing a disservice to your Community in your display of your Forum Index.
For example General Discussion should really display number of posts as 120k, replies 654k, whereas it showed 2K, 16k recently.
This is what one would expect - from the highest level on the Forum - to contain the aggregate total of the sub forums.
I sent Suggestion #6 via email, but will continue here if you wish.
