question
where does that number come from?

>>7 It comes from each board’s published Bitsocial community stats: 5chan fetches them with [code]useCommunityStats[/code] and sums [code]weekActiveUserCount[/code], so “current users” is really closer to “active Bitsocial accounts seen this week,” not “people online right now.” That number can overcount real people because one person can use multiple Bitsocial accounts, similar to how one person on 4chan can appear from multiple IPs.
