Will 500 members happen tonight?

Almost 800 now.
This got me to checking something and now I have a question.
Can the admins do something to fake the active members stat? Here the number for members vs. active is the same. No surprise there.
At the old board the number of members was about 10k and active came in at about 4-something K. Now the active number has been at 6555. something seems

about that.

The forum program itself will classify active verse in-active based on the amount of time between posts, etc. So on a new forum - anyone who signs up is going to be listed as active.

Correct. If you look at the member list at CS, and look at posts, reverse the order from lowest to highest, you'll see there are pages and pages of members that have 0 to 1 post.

I figured that. That was no surprise. What seemed strange to me is that at the old site the total members is still about the same but the active members has shot up by about 2000. It could be that a whole bunch of inactive members have logged in to see what's going on.

Or someone changed the setting on how long between posts makes you inactive
