Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. acquisition value

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    After trying to code things myself (to keep the number of plugins down), I found it easier simply to install this.

    It would be great to be able to set the “freshness” to display the title of the latest post, instead of a date as this would be better for SEO.

    Very useful feature. The plugin creator is super helpful and this makes this plugin even more valuable.

    I can say that being a newbie with little knowledge about bbpress this plugin is the best download I have made. It does what it says and gives you the flexibility to name the freshness column anything you want. It is even makes the default bbpress layout look magically nicer. What’s more it is easy to set up. I can’t imagine anyone not liking this plugin.
