<...> Male to Female Ratio: 1:27702 <...>
This stat has gone off the rocker recently: The current value in the forum stats indicates  a wee change, with a Male to Female ratio of 1:27708. Nevertheless, the same ratio indicates 4.4:1 (nearly four and a half males per females) back in October 2021. Archived pages from prior years showed a similar ratio, give or take a few decimals.

We can’t really believe the ratio much though IRL. In the past (I haven’t checked lately) there were many bot created accounts that had the value filled-in, but stayed at 0 posts. These types of accounts distort the data (in addition to people declaring whatever they wish on these fields).
