How many active members do we have?

[SideWinder]

Just wondering really. I guess also it depends if you define active as someone that logs in once a week or once a year.

I can see we have 160k members and currently the below active:

Total: 2,345 (members: 438, guests: 1,850, robots: 57)

What's a robot?

Robot: Google's web-scrapers/crawlers and the like? Presumably they identify themselves as such.

How do we know you're not a robot? Quick, check this box so we can be sure [✓]

 

[Yaayuh!]

Plenty of members on here that's for sure...

Hard to define I suppose. Someone who logs in and reads but never posts included? I go through patches of posting a lot and then just reading a lot. So depending on your definition I might be active throughout or only active when posting.

I believe the forum treats "active" as someone who is currently online (or at least the last 5 minutes or something).

More than 50, less than 1 million

I only have the one and my member is active at least once a week.

I am not a shop. I am a robot.

A lot less than the old days

The robots identify as non-binary / trans. Remember to use the they pronoun.

When did we last have an online user peak?

 

[Penfold101]

over 9000

Nice.

 

[ttaskmaster]

Depends on exact 'methodology' used to count them.
I'd say fewer than 100 are actual individuals. The rest are all sockpuppets...

IIRC the Earthquake caused the largest peak up to that point, don't know if it's been superceeded since.
