I need help with some stats.
Okay, I need some help with some stats here. I just came across a number that has me concerned, and before I address that concern, I would like to know a few more facts so I can at least form a proper analysis.

What I need, or would like help with if possible, or if the information is available, to be pointed in the proper direction.

How many forums are currently active on steam.
This doesnt include threads, just the forums themselves.

How many users are currently active on steam, per day/per hour/per week etc.


Once I have a bit more information, I will actually release the reason for this, for now, I cant actually disclose that. I dont want to step on the wrong toes too soon.

Well, there are thirteen forum topics, and usually someone posts in each at least once a day. There's also the seperate SPUF, which is harder to find for new users, but it seems pretty active. As for the second part, if I recall correctly, there's something that at least was on the homepage that said it. I'll go look for it.
Edit: Right now there are around five million people online right now, and more on yesterday. The front page has a graph of the past 48 hours or so.

There are the forum areas you can reach within the steam client under Discussions.
There are three main sections. The first one has these main sub-forums. The second one is an entire list of sub-forums for each and every game on steam. The third one is for steam tools.
Thats quite a lot of forums.
There is also the original website access forums which I haven't visited since forever. You'll have to dig around and get the count yourself.
I am not sure if THAT web based forum is the same one that now requires a password to even see the topics. I stick to the in-client forums.
You might also consider the game hubs as forums depending on how loose your definition of forum is.
Anyway, its a large number (mostly because each game gets a sub-forum) as far as I can tell.
