Ive noticed linden labs has added a "Active Residents" statistics number. What does this number actually mean? What kind of criterias is this information based on? Payment-on-file? Logged in since a sertain date, or what is it actually?

If anyone got any informatin about this mysterious number statistics, i would be happy for a informative answer that could make me understand this number.

That is the number of accounts that have logged in at least once in the past 60 days.

This is apparently an attempt to be more transparent after it was revealed that the population number previously given on the front page was some nebulous "time-weighted average" of the two numbers that are now separately quoted.
