How big is the Dwarf Fortress community
« on: January 14, 2017, 10:31:52 pm »

I'll be giving a little talk about Dwarf Fortress in a couple of days and I want to give people a rough idea about the size of the DF community. Are there any "official" counts? What are your best guesses?

My guess is that we have around 50,000 members who play this game now and then (at least about once a year). I think so because the Reddit community is about that size, also this forum has about 32,000 members with at least 1 post. Their members mostly overlap (or do they?), I guess, and I figure there are some registered members who no longer play the game, as there are people who play the game but are not registered in any of these sites.
