There are currently 2,894 people with a registered account on the Mario Boards. 16 are currently online at the time of this writing.
Eh, a good chunk of that 2,894 users didn't even post once, and we don't know how many of those are repeats of the same person. It's tough to count the regulars, but we have several. Some regulars come and go though.
How can we confirm people use the Mario Boards and not robots, cats, and pangender octopuses who roam the cosmos in search of love?
