Ha! I was counting on you not counting on me counting at all. Besides, i was also counting on you to say that. So there. (pointing in the air in no particular direction) ;+
According to the leaderboards, the most prolific poster has over 13,000 questions. I could add up all the rest, but it's probably less than #1 has asked.
P.S. Sharona, you are #2 with just over 1400.

I did the math. In less than 2 years, she has posted 40% of all the questions on the site since its inception. I don't think there is that much cocaine available.
There was a time when the questions in the "Politics" category nearly outnumbered all the other categories combined. I'm pretty sure that's not true now. (hehehe).
M2C is right, sort of. You can see the tallies on the leaderboard page. It's under "Muggers" on the main menu. Site-wide stats are in the left column toward the bottom.
We did "lose" a significant number of discussions in the migration. It was virtually everything from every category with an & in the title that was "lost." So, all of Religion & Spirituality was lost, and a few others.
Now, "lost" is kind of hard to explain, but something about the and sign jacked up where those questions went. The site works in tables of data. So, for example, Statements may be table 1, and Questions may be table 2. From there, each category has a designation as well. So, all the questions in categories with no and sign slid perfectly into table 2, and the site knows they're questions because they're in table 2. But, our lovely questions in categories with the and sign went into something like table 4, and the site don't have the foggiest idea what table 4 is or what to do with the stuff that's there. The dev tried to get all of table 4 to move to table 2 and it wouldn't go. Then, he tried to rename table 4 as table 2, but it freaked the system out because there were two table 2s. O_o Being the generous guy he is, he volunteered to move all of those one by one. To be clear, there are tens of thousands of them. The labor on that would be insane. I think his next ploy is to build a tool that will move them one by one, but using automation. But, we still have a lot of functionality issues, and I want him dedicating time to those first. Also, I'm pretty sure most Muggers aren't heartbroken over losing the old religion category, so it's kind of last on the list now.
The moral of the story is, I don't have any stats that include the old questions that are chilling in the wrong table waiting to be rescued, but if I had to guess, we've got at least twice as many as the leaderboard thinks we do. Maybe 70,000-ish?
I didn't know it was on the site anywhere....that would have been much easier. I went to the questions page. Counted the questions (50 per page). And the seen how many pages there were. 683 full and one partial with 14.
I can see it when I'm not logged in, so I don't think it's that. The page view will change somewhat based on your device and screen size. I think mobile devices will only show one column, and it stacks them from left to right. I'll attach an image. If you still don't see it on the leaderboard page after this, lt me know- it should be there for everyone.
