If any mods knows the number of individual active profiles, that'd be great.  :thumb:

You should define active, in some quantitative approach.  :)

Active as in non-banned profiles who visit GH. No just people who post a lot.

Stats say 31k


I would estimate that < 1% are active contributors.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Depending on your definition of "active":

Active Members Today: 930 (~3%)
Active Members (past 7 days): 2919 (~10%)
Active Members (past month): 4591 (~15%)
Active Members (past year): 14486 (~50%)

Some folks actively lurk though, and that counts too because they still participate in groupbuys and sales. I was going more by people who visit GH once or more a month.

Some interesting stuff there. I would not have expected 25 people register every day. A 3.5% female population is pretty impressive considering the general demographic for this kind of hobby.
