Why even acknowledge the number of signups for a service like this?
Should I even care how many accounts are created? I'd be more interested in either % conversion for how many people signed up for classes, or % who completed the free test classes.
Is 100,000 people entering their details into a form even a laudable achievement from the perspective of the general public (or even the programming public)?
