Employing a quote from Grandfather W, which pretty much nails it, "It has more than it would if it were to have fewer than it does."

It's not made generally available, but as of "now" -

Number of posts: 8,580,277
Posts per day: 1,313
Number of topics: 380,846
Topics per day: 58
Number of users: 136,117
Users per day: 21

The number of active users is not logged, probably because: "define active". :wink:

I would say, on the slowest day, that about 40 different people post on WP on that day.

I would have thought that was more like a fast day.

I guess I'm not keeping count. :P

I would say active is people who have posted in the last 3 months.

I feel like there are more active / daily members on AF than on here.
We might have more members overall, but thousands of them have 0 posts.
Many haven't been seen in years.

I would say we probably have between 50 and 100 people here who post regularly.

Yeah, 136,000 members is not at all reflective of the actual active persons on the forum. Not even close.

Once a member always a member. Members are not deleted.

Yeah, I was saying that number isn't reflective of active members. I'm sure that is number if Cornflake has said it, but it is a fairly meaningless number & not indicative of anything really apart from who has signed up to the website.
