I like seeing forum discussions that have dozens of responses as it usually means the community is really interested in that topic and wants to contribute their opinion. And, sometimes, it's easy to come up with winning discussions that get everyone talking. Other times, a discussion will get few or no responses. At those times, I wonder what it is about the discussion that failed to spark interest.
How many replies do you expect for each discussion?

Sometimes if a topic I created didn't get any replies, I'll delete it and re-post it again in hopes for some new eyes to see the topic and reply. Sometimes it works, I am assuming because initially the topic was burried quickly and nobody noticed it?

I usually hope for enough replies to get a 2nd page. 😛
It depends on the subject. I know some video-games are played by more members than others, so what I expect comes down to primarily how much interest I believe the topic will get to begin with. Topics that have a wider audience appeal will be the ones I expect to see more replies to than those that don't. I'm usually content though if a topic can hit a second page, or better, enough replies to be marked as a hot topic.
It helps to keep your finger on the pulse. If you post along the lines of what is moving people, you're standing a much better chance than if you follow just where your own interest is leading you. Requires just a bit of research on a daily basis..

If there is around 3 other members discussing in a thread I am happy. The amount of replies I do not know. I like to ask follow up questions in threads to encourage more replies so I cannot put a number on reply counts.
