I thought at one time the number of registered members was posted on the site, and I seem to recall it was around 220,000+. According to Wikipedia, the number was over 122,000 in 2008, so it's definitely possible the 220,000+ is accurate. I'd suspect this number is for total registrations over time, and not current registrations only.

As of June 2008, over 122,000 user accounts were registered and over 38 million messages had been posted.

I'll bet EarlG knows!

I was thinking the highest rec counts are like 400. applegrove Wednesday #7

Just to clarify, my interpretation is that the 269K represents all-time registered members, Totally Tunsie Wednesday #9

Are you wanting to know how many people visit the site? Violet_Crumble Wednesday #8

No I have the answer to my question. I wanted the all time total. applegrove Wednesday #10
