When combined with the difficulty of assessing impact of Forum posts and comments, I think the relationship between karma and impact is too murky to make impact-per-karma a meaningful measure. Posts/comments of a specialized/technical nature will likely have a significantly higher IpK value than meta commentary.
Yeah perhaps, but I have no idea even why the forum is considered cost effective. Is it more because it advances work on causes? Or is it more because it builds and maintains the community? I think the answer to this question will go some way to understanding the strength of your claim. In general, I just wished this information was out there, just something about why we think the forum going is a good use of our time. Right now, I have not seen anything. I remember seeing more information about EAGs and their benefits and their cost effectiveness.
