Forum/Registered Users, Unless you are regularly cleaning out inactives 
this number means nothing about a current userbase.

pool/email pool? Are people emailing that I havent heard of. I am on a 
quite a few mailing lists I cant remove myself from due to lost 
passwords, or just a lack of caring. Alot of times I just feed them to 
my spam filter and they stop showing up anymore. I am still a registered 
user though. This number means nothing.
