Relationship between daily forum visits vs "# of active" members

I've noticed that adding a forum to one's affiliate site is very common. Is it possible to even quantify the value that a good/active forum can have to one's site revenue?
I've also thought about what it would take to create an active forum. How do you create a successful community? To be more specific, how do you create a forum that can get 10,000s of visits per day?
I believe the answer to the above depends on many factors, but I think the biggest factor is how many "active/involved" members are currently using the site (by "involved", I mean people who answer others poster's questions, post useful and interesting forum post etc).
I've got a theory/conjecture:
Let N = number of total forum visits per day
Let A = number of active/useful users involved on the forum.
I conjecture that A = square-root(N) .
A verbal interpretation of the above would be to say that the number of forum visits per day, requires considerably fewer active members. For example, having 100 visits per day, may only require 10 active members. Having 10,000 visits per day would require only 100 active members...........and 1,000,000 visits per day would require 1,000 active users!
Any thoughts?

That's very interesting. The principle is sound, I think. But the number of active members required probably varies considerably from site to site and depends on the core activity. Some sites were set up as forums and all activity centres around the forum.
Other sites have simply added a forum to round off the community activities and require a far larger ratio of active members:forum participants.
Of course the trick is to increase the number of member and then to convert a high number of those into active members

Well from my experience with Forums and also by my participation in them is this
the busiest forums I know of those where members are are sharing information on the latest no deposit or free spin offers that they receive via email from the casinos and then they share that info on certain forums which keeps the forum busy I myself always check on certain forums especially on a Tuesday when video-slots releases a code for the weekly free spins , I often find that code hours before video-slots even mails me my code so thanks to members posting codes or info as they get it helps me a great deal in getting the deal, also a another thread that seems to very popular on a lot of forums is where members post their experience with casinos regarding the cashout time they experienced with the method they requested a payout from ,
so Im gonna start a thread here on GC for the latest no deposit or free spin offers and hope that all the members contribute as they receive any info that could benefit other GC members
