One of my members was asking me the different between guidl members.. and forum members from the stats peace:

163 Unique Guild Members
272 Characters (alts included)
42 Raiding Characters
183 Website/Forum Members
105 Posts in 24 hours
1044 Posts in 7 days

I was at a loss, as I couldn't explain it compaired to what I thought it was.

Guild Members is the number of Characters marked as a "Main"

Characters is just the number of characters in the guild (mains and alts)

Website Members is just the number of people who've created an account on your website.

They are seperated because some sites will have lots of accounts on the site that aren't guild members (like friends from other guilds who post on your forums, for example). There are also occasionally Players who never create accounts on the website but have characters in the guild.

Thanks Chops..

thought it was something like that.. just couldn't spit it out
