In summary: I'm thinking that a "sign up for a month" might be a better option.Good idea but it may end up being burdensome IT-wise. I'm thinking that a "sign up for a month" might be a better option.I think that's a great idea.

Although I haven't looked in years, I'm pretty sure there used to be somewhere that showed how many members the forum currently has. I can't find that anywhere now. Did it go away or am I just not finding it?

Have you tried the search box here in PF?

That info isn't public at the moment, but total members is around 250k

Wow, IIRC, that number was around 200k relatively recently. Seems like a healthy growth rate.

We average about 60 signups a day. What is important is total active users.

Yeah, I'd like to see that statistic.

I seem to recall that a couple of PF iterations ago there were 250,000 members but a HUGE number of those were one-time posters who never came back.

Active members will be several thousand. We're a big homework help stop so that will generate a lot of "one a done" members.

I always wondered about those. Why bother signing to post just once, or even a few times?

As Greg said, we are a huge one-stop shop for students with a specific question.

Well, if Greg could device something like "sign up and stay as a member for ##x## days" where ##x \in [30, \, \infty)##, some people would choose the lower boundary value rather than the upper.

Good idea but it may end up being burdensome IT-wise.
