Question

How does q2a bot know the number of users? See http://www.question2answer.org/sites.php

In all q2a files I just found the function qa_db_count_users() that is not called publicly.

So is the bot counting? Or is there another output?

Answer 1

I think it reads "users" page and parse it's content, counts number of users in first page and number of pages. the rest is a simple Multiplication.

probably same happens for reading number of questions.
