Looking at the home page, it says total members: 385,079, so I think the 52,947 already takes such purges into account.

On my online chess page it says that there are 52,947 ranked players on Chess.com and that I'm ranked 8,548th. I felt good about myself until it occurred to me that there are probably 40,000 players who have joined Chess.com and only played a couple of games.
Do the powers that be ever purge these dilettantes?
Do we know how many players log on to Chess.com in a given day?
At what ranking can you call yourself a decent player?
