I do not mean to diminish any numbers, but it would be interesting to know:
1. How many registered users are still active (have logged on last 1-3 months)
2. Do you keep all the accounts from the start date of the site?
3. Do you delete or ban spambots?
The answers to my questions are intended to shed some light of the real member statistics. If you ban a spambot account, instead of deleting it, that spambot still counts as member, if you have a user that registered in 2009 but never logged in, that still counts as a member.
In my opinion one should only measure and count active members. You may consider different premises for an active member but I would not count a 5 year old account with no posts as an active member. And my spambots gets deleted (they should be deleted in any case) or I would probably have 300.000 members on this site.
So if you have 10.000 members, but only 300 logged in the latter 6 months, that is a bit of false numbers claiming 10.000 members.
Don't get me wrong, I do not question your numbers, but please take what I write in to consideration. :)
