Key metrics for determining a forum's health include the quantity and quality of user participation, the retention of active members, and the level of satisfaction expressed through comments or surveys. Site traffic, the frequency of new posts, user interaction, and sentiment analysis are also measured to assess the community's atmosphere and engagement.

There are several important metrics that can be used to determine the health of a forum, such as:
User metrics include the number of active users, the number of new posts, and the number of responses or comments.
Content quality metrics include threads listed in SEO, content usefulness, etc.

If you want to know if a forum is healthy or not, there are several things to look for. First, check if there are people who contribute regularly, not just a quiet forum. New posts and many comments show that there is life. Then the content itself should be meaningful, not just meaningless shouting. If threads appear in SEO, then you know there is something there. Also, the forum must be clean, free of spam or people who break the rules every hour. If you see a forum with all of these, then it is like a well-tended field and crops are growing happily.
