Some more thoughts on using statistics to get a better idea of the scope of the problem.
Searching the DB for all threads from pages 1 to 5 (250) and seeing how many different authors made those threads. Is it 100? 200? or as little as 50? Knowing that hard number and looking for ways for those users to share equally the first 1 or 2 pages would indeed be the solution to the problem would it not?
174 users made posts. Of those About 60 no longer needed their thread. They sold or bought what they wanted.
There are 80 threads by default per page? Or do I have mine set to something different than default?
Of the remaining users they would comfortably take up the first two pages with active threads even if with daily bumps on active products available. So long as they didn't make 18 threads about 1 domain, 8 threads about content that could have been titled with the niches it covers in a list, etc...
