ROSPA now have a public forum

[jont-]

Do you think that they simply added all their members into the forum, or have they really had nearly 4,000 members sign up?!
I think that AD Hub is probably the most active AD forum around and we have c. 260 members!
We have 66x as many posts from c. 1/15th of the members - which means that our members have on average posted 977x as often as their members

mind you, that might say something about our members...

Maybe they're not so good at dealing with spammers (or their accounts)?

Unless they've been overrun by spambots, this is complete cobblers. Last time I looked (admittedly a year or two ago), it was more like 150 posts total. Posts ran at a frequency of one a month or so. There were 20 or so members.

Looking at it now, there is a large number of "members" but suspiciously, they all have "last activity" dates between a few days of each other in 2012. It looks like they imported somebody else's member database. Some of the names are recognisable as people I know, but not many (not that that's saying anything).
