The posting volume in SI's heyday is not a goal I will be trying to reach anytime soon. It roughly coincided with tech stock growth, but wasn't entirely because of it. The 20k per day posting levels were being driven primarily by one thing: The blossoming (in the way dandelions or other weeds "blossom") of a number of penny stock threads. DGIV, MTEI, RMIL, and others. Prolific pumpers and dreamers drove posting volume (and my workload) through the roof in their efforts to shout down "evil bashers".

If you can find the relevant threads and posts, you'll see that trading halts and my refusal to remove "proven paid bashers", resulting in the pumpers and dreamers moving to RB, correlate directly with the initial plunge in posting volume. Off the top of my head, I'd guess that anything past the 10k per day level was penny-stock driven. The fall from 10k to 4k was tech implosion.
