Something I think is missing from Discourse is something that shows activity on the forum - many people log in but there aren’t always new threads or posts for them to respond to, which can make the forum appear ‘dead’.

Anyone else agree with making the following tweaks?

- Make default User’s Page All time ([Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/users?period=all))
- Add a ‘last activity column’
- Make the list sort in order of most recently active.

Or does anyone have any other suggestions to help show activity other than posts?

_One thing that will slowly but surely kill a forum is the appearance of it being ‘dead’ - even when it’s not._
