So how many if we ignore the spam accounts and peeps with 0 posts?

I count 1601 ATM just excluding the 0-post accounts.

Nothing wrong with "lurking" while you learn, Link!

Perhaps a better metric would be the number of visits each member makes. ( the mods might be able to add that column to the table.)

Then, we can define and assess the number of "active" members.

Yeah, how many members are XXX advertisers?

I did an analysis in another thread that might be of interest.

I was looking through the members list and I noticed how many 0-post users there were who clearly registered just to post a web-link to their website. So I sorted the entire member list by post count just to get an idea what kind of "active audience" there is. There's 50 members per page and I'll post a list of post-count thresholds and page numbers below so you can get an idea of what kind of active population endless sphere has.

Post-Count ............. Page number it changes to on(roughly # of users that have more than this many posts)
100 .............5 (250 users)
50 .............7 (350 users)
20 .............12 (600 users)
10 .............16 (800 users)
5 .............20 (1000 users)
2 .............26 (1300 users)
1 .............30 (1500 users)
0 .............38 (1900 users) - Basically, roughly 1900 users have made at least 1 post.

Total registered users: 93 pages (4630 users). So, roughly (4630-1900) = 2730 users have not made any posts. Out of these 0 post users, from a sample size of 4 pages (200 users), 39 users did not post a website link suggesting roughly 3/5-4/5 of the no-post users registered just to display their website. Compare that to almost 1/5th of the users with a post count above 100 posting website and you can infer the vast majority of 0 post users register just to advertise a web link. Interestingly, it seemed yahoo.de was a popular website among the 0 post users, many of whom who seemed to have randomly generated alphanumeric names.
