I do not think that membership is really fery important. Far more important is the number of meaningful posts.
Regarding meaningful posts AoB is clearly the world leader, but only has around 200 members. But a thread about desert rose would not be accepted there, I am afraid.
That's it, this is the bonsai world on the internet.

It most be all those LongGermanWords slowing them down, Walter!
70,000 posts? Actually I think bonsaiTALK has a bit more than that, if the reported figures are accurate.
Here are the last 2 years' posting stats. It works out to
40208 posts in the June04-May05 period
57805 posts in the June05-May06 period
For a total of
98,013 in the past two years ending May 2006. If I go back another six months we'd probably have in the ballpark of 125K
