The "Activity" column provides information such as:
Topics: 22814
Posts: 325399
And while that may be of some interest to someone, it doesn't really tell the user anything particularly useful. What would be useful would be:
Topics Since Last Login: xxxxx
Posts Since Last Login: xxxx
or
Topics Today: xxxxx
Posts Today: xxxxx
I doubt anyone really cares if there's 300,000 posts in the general forum. But they might really be interested in knowing if there are a lot of NEW posts they haven't seen.
Agree on the clutter aspect as well. It might be best just to drop it entirely, but if we're going to have stats, at least have them be stats meaningful to the user experience.
