How many vetted users does Hacker News have now?


I'm curious how many users are on here now, that are above the karma threshold. Similarly, are there metrics posted anywhere with HN stats?

Some users have posted in 2,3 to 7-8 years. Does this count? Do you mean to ask active users? That would be interesting to know for sure but not essential. What makes HN great is the quality of users’s input. If there were 10000 active users it would seem not very much but it’s quite a lot if you think about it...

Anyway, it’d be interesting to know the answer to this query
