Only if the posts weren't posted elsewhere. If the Alternative Board were done away with, and people didn't post about alternative medicine, then there would be fewer posts. But if it was again combined with the medication board, and people continued to post about it, there would be the same number of total posts, just on fewer boards and more to a board.
It might depend on the board.
I guess it's possible that as a board gets more Yahoo hits on a topic, it might attract more posters on that topic, and therefore total posts would go up.
But maybe Dr. Bob has better statistics on that?
