From the members directory: "Names 1-25 of 169,348 active members" I'm, um, surprized. That many active? Gotta stop rubbishing this place ;)

Now if each active member could each just send me $1....;o)

You'd probably end up with a few grand, at best. :)

169 grand would buy a VERY fast, new computer, lol.

Oddly enough, even at it's peak I've never seen more than around 2000 to 2400 online at one time.
If you figure in clone accounts, those who've created accounts just to comment, people who've been asked to create accounts to rig the hot 20 and everyone who's "leaving and never coming back"... I'm pretty sure the legit number is considerably smaller. ;)

Yes, we have more than 169k active members, with more than 300k registered members. We are now the size of a large city, complete with individual neighborhoods, places to go and fun things to do, including a great place to shop!

There's still the fact that people have asked and been told they could not "erase" their existance from Renderosity. That alone, along with the fact that several have asked and have left, suggests the numbers can't be entirely correct.

Define active lol... I was away for over a year and most surprised to find my acount was still active when i came back. Jack

Kendra - that's why we have "active" members. As Lillian stated we have more than 300,000 registered members, 169,000 of those are active. lemur01 - Nowadays we wouldn't allow for absences of such a long time and be considered active. AgentSmith

An inactive account will reactivate if the member returns. Member accounts are not erased so that we can provide purchase history and product download information that the member may require at any point in the future. Best regards, Lillian

I would assume the same. Another reason for not erasing screen names is say, forum posts. How would we go through the entire site and erase the posts made by any given member? And, if we didn't erase the forum posts, and a new person came along, signed up and was, by chance able to pick the same name... AS

A well-crafted SQL statement? :)

And, after so long, older posts start making no sense to people reading them, lol.

What is odd is that the number of surfers currently online (1125 at the moment) figure is always about twice the number of members currently logged in. The number shown at the bottom of the "Who's Online page" (currently 632.) So what are that 50% who are not logged in doing?
AgentSmith posted Fri, 08 October 2004 at 8:32 AM
"Surfers" not "members" (logged in). I would assume that would meen it is counting page views(?)

hmm maybe. It's a little misleading though. It would seem to indicate that on average there are only between 500 to 900 members who are active at any one point and when you consider the names are similar every day it makes you wonder what the other 299,100 are doing.
