I just noticed that on the RHP home page it now says it is a community with over 100,000 members! It used to only be about 75,000 members!
Congragelations, RHP, on becoming an even more popular and successful site!

Edit: Wait, were you being sarcastic?

Take a look at this for example...
http://www.timeforchess.com/core/playertable.php?col=3&state=desc&buttonno=-1
100,000 members but less than 8,500 made a move in the last 100 days.
The honest* approach would be to advertise '8000+ active members', but this is not nearly as much a draw as '100,000 members' might be to someone who was purely interested in the popularity of the site.
It's all about Marketing you see...
Edit: *the 100,000 claim is not dishonest, it just includes inactive members.

But if you look at one of the other tables (ie MAP), you will see that over 25500 players have moved in the last 100 days.

Originally posted by RussWhat if you took members who have been active over the last month. Could you give us that number?
Over 180,000 people have signed up in the past, but not all have verified email addresses, some never went on to make a move, that kind of thing.
So, that figure on the homepage is fairly meaningless, to be honest.

Still not 100,000 though... see Russ's reply too!
