Correct.
A few other things to point out: take a look at the number of people who have filled out their profiles, that number is up this year compared to the last: (calling-all-ross-2012-applicants-117003.html had 245 for the entire year and there are already 285 this year/season alone and will be over 350 by the summer). We have cut over to the new stats tracking system in 2011 (that would have been 2012 thread) and you will see that the 2010 threads tend to be much more numerous with replies/views as the result of the manual tracking system. So, automation is partially to blame for the lower participation/views
As to lurker counts, they have been very disproportionate compared to the registered members but I really have no way of tracking it....
Finally, I would not judge general trends in applications based on GMAT Club traffic. There are many variables why a school may be more/less popular year over year and if a school is more/less popular on GMAT Club, it does not mean it is the trend in the entire universe. You are correct, a zealous Ross applicant cant rally quite a bit of activity by posting on a daily/hourly basis. There were a few prominent veteran GMAT Clubbers who applied to Ross in 2011/2012 years and definitely drove quite a bit of interest/attention.

…so he fell asleep on the chair that they had given him. He dreamed of the interview, sitting on a lonely chair, answering questions from the panelists. He dreamed of their questions, strange MBA interview questions he answered without difficult. They asked him:
“Who is considered the greatest Marshall Arts actor of all time?”
“What is the deepest lake in the world?”
“You like comic books, right? Okay, who would win in a battle between Wolverine and Superman?”
Deep in his sleep, he heard his name being called. It seemed like a dream, but he became awake and heard it again.
“Are you Mr Nyama?” Half asleep, he stood up and extended his hand to the interviewer.
“Yes, it’s me. Sorry, I fell…,” but the interviewer cut him off.
“Come this way please,” and so Nyama followed the interviewer. “Would you care for some coffee?”
“Yes please, no milk and sugar,” Nyama said and sat down opposite the interviewer. He had imagined this interview a million times before.
“Okay, let’s start,” the interviewer said.
“Before we start, I have something to say,” Nyama said, raising his hand for emphasis. Half asleep, Nyama saw the interviewer nod his head. Encouraged, Nyama stood up, and said thus…..
“Ever since I was a kid, I have told myself that I would be a good student that Kellog would want. I dedicated my life to making sure that I did all that is expected of a Kelllog MBA student. I’m the right candidate, I will make Kellog proud,” Nyama said. Raising his fist in a show of determination, he continued in a high pitched voice, “I played varsity soccer as an UG, I have good GMAT scores, I went to Tuvalu as a climate change volunteer. I’m an all round scholar, and I’m the student that Kellog is…,”
“Stop,” the interviewer, annoyed, said. “So you really like Kellog, Mr Nyama?”
“I do, I love Kellog. It’s the best school in the whole world,” Nyama said.
“Ah, I see.”
“My uncle got his MBA here.”
“Uhm, interesting. But what are you doing here? This school is Ross. This interview is for the Ross MBA.”
“What, Ross,” the shocked Nyama gasps in disbelief.
“You should have gone to interview at Kellog,” the interviewer says. “This interview is over.”
The End.
