there is a difference between "30,000 users" and "more than 30,000
people sign up for the forums" because there is nowhere near 30,000
folks here on any one day (or week)..

that is, a person who "signed up", came once (maybe to deposit spam or
look around) and left certainly can't be counted as a "user" _today_..

anyway, if it were true that there are 30,000 users here today, that
certainly is nothing to crow about:

who was it, Ashton Kutcher got over a million "signed up" (to follow
his twitter tweets) in a couple of months....so, do we really wanna
trumpet the minuscule nature of our dismally small gathering??
