Well, ParadigmOfUncertainty has about 10,000 members now - although 
it's not very high-traffic these days, as there hasn't been a new 
chapter in a while. And FA's Chapter Owls list, which has about 5500 
members, is not a discussion list, so it's a little different.

Hmm. Well, if you count the Leaky Cauldron's comment feature, TLC is 
probably technically larger; we have about 6000 unique users in FAP 
each day, plus another 3000 (although there is probably some 
overlap) on ArtisticAlley - and we don't know how many we have on 
the fic side of things at all - but TLC can have about 30,000 unique 
users in a given day, if not more, which is more than FA, but 99.9 
of the TLC visitors don't post, whereas about 10% of FA's visitors 
post in the Park.

Mugglenet also has a lot of unique users, too, as does HPANA.com, 
and of course the Lexicon (although now that I think about it, 
Lexicon visitors might count towards TLC's total, as we're all on 
one server...).
