blue moon ~I think what you're remembering was Board Reader.....
As far as I know, none of the mods are privy to LL statistics re membership. We have no access to member rosters or email addys.
When I first came here I felt very shy and reluctant to write *anything* especially personal -- I didn't want to feel so vulnerable and exposed. But when I read responses to some heartfelt things I posted, I realized that I could touch people by my words -- people who never or seldom post but read here often.
My posts are for them, as well as for the people I interact with.....

In other forums there's a display that shows which members are online and how many guests are lurking -- I suppose Randall has that disabled here.....
