menstrualhut community now has 680 members.
coloringbook has 72 members

and scottobear has 138 readers (That's about 1/5 of the menstrualhut, or twice the coloringbook)... though about 10% or so are phantoms... linked to me, and then left LiveJournal for parts unknown.

for humility's sake...

paidmembers has 41884 members. (I believe that's the most populated community on LJ)

In other news, Newton’s cuteness ratings went down, as did the number of votes... do older votes die off after a while?

sleeping late with a cat was retired, with a rating of 156.
