To me, the meaning of the message is clear.

> Let’s get this discussion started!  
> There are currently 2 / 5 topics and 5 / 30 posts.  
> New visitors need some conversations to read and respond to.

But it could be argued that the message, as it is, doesn’t pass the “don’t make me think” rule.

Maybe if it were changed to something like.

> Let’s get this discussion started!  
> There are currently 2 / 5 topics and 5 / 30 posts.  
> New visitors need _more_ conversations _than that_ to read and respond to.

or

> Let’s get this discussion started!  
> There are currently 2 topics and 5 posts.  
> New visitors need at least 5 topics and 30 posts to read and respond to.
