How many AB members have there been since it's inception and how many are still active? I think AB is a great site and I love the crossword sections. I joined over 6 years ago and it was only to ask a question. 6+ years later, I'm still here. What made you become a member?

A Big Thanks To The A/b Office.

HI Auntie, do you by any chance have a breakdown of which country the ABers are resident? Always thought it might be an interesting addition to the profiles.

A quarter of a million active users?

Shome mishtake shurely?

ABAuntie

No, sorry danny that is not something we know. You are right though it would be interesting. :-)

If there are 227,990 active users I wonder what the definition of 'active' is. I doubt I could name more than 50 users. I would expect that 990 users would account for 99% of all posts this year, which leaves the other 227000 active users accounting for only 1% of all posts
