All the credible numbers are well below 100k active, down from perhaps
twice that at peak. If you count as a member everyone who ever paid
for a course, the number is a lot higher. If you count as a member
anyone who ever, e.g., had dealings with Narconon or who knows
something like the "Integrity Tone Scale", the number is probably
significantly larger still.
