Can't give you the active users viewing thread data... that's from session tables which are purged automatically, and I don't have server logs as I see no reason to turn them on (I like security by default and not storing anything that could identify anyone).

Meaningful numbers:
An average weekday will see 2,500 posts per day.
9th August = 3,700 posts per day, with more than half of those being in this 1 thread.
