3. I think it does.
It's still a remarkable number considering how young this board is (what is it? 4 years? 5 years?). That's between 5,000 and 7,000 members per year on average. I must admit, it'd be fun to know what the attrition rate was. :-)

9. It is probably the total. If you check the profiles
then the majority have zero posts, so they are either for lurkers or have never been used. Still it's fun to see figures like that. The number of views must be around 150,000,000 (!) since in general there are 10 views per post on a board.

10. Oh sure, edit your post
Make me look like I don't know what I'm talking about. It's a coverup I tell ya! Do I have to post the screencaps? :evilgrin:

11. I couldn't have that major of a typo hanging out there!
I don't know who is worse for editing posts for spelling, me or Rev Acts, but it's got to be close. :D
