#ubuntu, for comparison, is so outrageously active that you can log in and see a new message every few seconds.
Wow. That seems like it would be too active to even be useful.
From the time I was around being a community member, I found a lot of the general flow of discussion to be a question followed by a link to a wiki, askubuntu, the forum, a manpage. If you had a problem, you'd never get a concrete answer. Anything too technical was deemed not fit for discussion and you were directed towards the forums or some other channel.
