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.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”
- Jimmy Carter 2015

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.
