I just realized that Chess.com has over 5,000,000 members! 

Let's show our appreciation by leaving comments saying thanks to the makers of the best chess website on the Internet! 

divide it by 3 at least

Way to go people!

Whoo!

Awesome website! Best thing is, about 5,000,000 people know that now!

Using the same method, I bet yahoo has registered about 1 billion accounts.

I see loads of accounts on here where it looks like they visited once or twice, a year or two or more ago, and never returned.

yea, those are just registered users, but if you go to the live chess homepage, you'll see almost 7,700 people logged in right now, and that number is low from other times i've seen it.  chess.com is definitely a big place.  :)

Maybe they should delete accounts that have been inactive for six months or so, to get a more accurate estimate.

you can also divide that number by 3. 7700 online but only 20 ppl looking for live games? yeah right.. :)

There are actually far more people looking for games in live chess at any given moment than it appears. Because people have filters so that only certain levels of players can see their challenges so it seems like a lot less. :)
