--- Thanks for the post Winerkleiner. That is quite a large number of games lol.
7, 7.5 or 8 million "members". The question being, what is a 'member'?
Is it, as seems likely, a one-time visitor and registrant who on average never returns here? Or is it something else?

Yeah, SFTAC, that's probably what it is.
I'm in live chess right now, and there's only 8130 people on it. That's only 0.1% of the "members."
I think it reasonable to assume the active membership is something like 10 or 20 times that, which suggests around 1-2% of 7.5 million or 80-160,000 (and perhaps 5% of those are 'Premium'/paying members or about 4,000 to 8,000).

Lol, I would say! I already lost a good 500 I think, I might have the record, lol!!

Yes, the total goes ever onward and upward as 7.7 million has now been achieved ( not far to the big 8 now ).
my guess is: November 11

Your welcome!
Eight million? I don't think this is sustainable. I'm a Malthusian at heart - I predict that disease, famine, or war will ravage the site, leaving bands of armed roaming misfits scavenging the forums for gasoline, water, and food.

Ladies & Germs what we have here is the return of " Mad Max " ( not a bad series of films BTW ).
Time to stock up on cans of Dinki Di Dog Food and Kawasaki Z1000 motorcycles.
Cabadenwurt, are you German?
--- Yes but I've been in Canada for over 50 years now.
That's nice to hear.
I lived in Canada too (Winnipeg) but just for merely one year.
Dort war es sicher auch schöner als im kriegszerstörten, geteilten Deutschland ...
