I had a quick look at the member list for Yellow Fever and there are close to 7,500 members signed up to the YF Forums.
Food for thought, what if YF did a bit of fundraising to help out the Phoenix?
If half of the members are active and happy to put in $20ea it'll get close to $75k together - tip of the iceberg I'm sure, but it would do a bit to help with staff wages etc.
We could set it up as a goal on Uncle Percy, so it's easy to post to Facebook etc and get more support

Whatcha reckon?
 
Or they could all buy season memberships when they come out which will do the same thing. But they won't all buy them, only about 1,500 people will. The number of members on this forum doesn't reflect in any way the number of people truly willing to %100 support the Phoenix.
 
As the founding (and only) member of the Yellow Fever Membership Numbers Truth and Reconciliation Commission I can assure you that there are way fewer active members than 7,500. If you take out anyone who has never actually posted and/or anyone who hasn't signed in for, say, the last 6 months I'm sure it would be more like 1,000.
 
Not quite the only member.  I'm the mug that has to commercialise the site to keep it up and running.
 
I can tell you that yesterday the forums had 1,735 unique visitors.
 
That number is fairly consistent.  While no doubt a number of them won't be posting, I think you can still call that the "active" membership of the forums.  Give or take.
