Not sure if that's what you meant, but I made some statistics, when we had 2000 registered members in 2015.
We could run a similar one again.

However, the question is how to define an HP calculator collector:

• Is someone who only posts in HP Prime or HP Prime Software Library a collector?
• What about someone who never posts in Classifieds?
• Do we only consider registered users?
  

For a rough estimate, I suggest checking the ratio of Views ÷ Replies on a popular recent thread in the General Forum.
That looks like a few hundred to me.

It tries to take into account that threads tend to get new views by the same user with each reply.
This is a lower bound but may still get us a figure in the ballpark.

Why recent?
I have the impression that even old threads are constantly getting new views from crawlers.
So maybe we should ignore them.
