I have been able to prove up (because of the "handles" of people I know of and information they put into their personal profiles) that 236 members of the forum are subscribers to the magazine. Another 200ish have allowed their subscriptions to expire. Interestingly, we have, the best I can figure out, more than 350 lurkers who have subscribed. A lurker isn't a member of the forum. But, when they read the forum for some time, they ultimately subscribe via paypal on the website.
Play all the games with the numbers that you wish, but the numbers of subscribers compared to the number of participants of the forum is surprisingly low. The most passionate people are subscribers, because those of you understand the value of the forum. What's REALLY interesting is that more than half of the forum members who subscribe actually have less than 10 posts each. They are more interested in learning and observing than participating.
