I can't post in the daytime, and so don't many other people, but this would not be the only use for it, there could be other uses for a member counter.
Here's the thing, what you post will be there tomorrow. Your post is not like an instant message. It will not be lost after people log off. If your thread isn't on the top, users didn't like your thread too much, but thats not their fault.
Are you more worried about your thread being on the front page? You posted this thread about 8 hours ago, and I saw it.
I'd rather see the people names online in a group; not a number that shows how many users there are. Although, I have most of my friend on my instant messengers or IRC, so both plans wouldn't really help me.
