Did not notice until looking through the Forums and seeing this post of yours. While I agree it is a fantastic number of members, I also wonder how many of these members have logged on recently. Is a individual who last logged on in say January of 2009 still carried as a member ?

IMHO a more important figure is how many members have logged on at least once in say the last year, or even in the last two years.

Editted:

Equally important how many non members, searching for information using Google or Bing have clicked on the returns to read a specific forum or article? Bet that number dwarfs 1,400,000.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

There are a lot of members who created an account, asked their question, got it solved and never got back.

But at least it means that 1,400,000 people know about SSC! :w00t:

It's not active.

I'll gather some numbers later and see, but we serve much > 2mm pages a month to I think, over 50k unique people. Seems like we have around 5 figures of "active" members regularly that hit more than 5 or so pages, but it's rolling. Lost of people engage the site for 2-3 months, then move on and get busy with something else.

However many of them still get the newsletter. We send out between 700k-1mm newsletters a day. Not sure I am allowed to release actual numbers (not my decision anymore), so I've underestimated those numbers deliberately.
