It's because of members who delete their account, or get banned or something. A new member doesn't get an old member's number, so that count is slightly off.

AMAZING!!!! I can't believe I'm... 2884 or something... I feel old

Yeah, I'm too dumb to be behind anything like that.

And I'm pretty sure it's SA anyway. She looks too innocent.

The discrepancy are people who register user names but never validate the account. They get assigned a number but because thety never validate the account never becomes active - so they then do not get counted in the total number of members.
