 Following up on #4235

 boonebgorges sez:
 "The idea is this: The "total members" number that you were formerly
 seeing  is actually not very meaningful."

 It's very meaningful to site owners and any devs who are touting a site
 (example jjj re buddypress.org ). Valid or not, the total count is used as
 a measure of success. Display of that number is important.

 So, while the change makes sense in 1.6, it will elicit howls upon
 upgrading. And result in ~184 repeats of the same question in the forums.

 I think there are only two places where the displayed count will be an
 issue:
 The 'All Members' tab count in Activity and Members.

 So why not provide an option re what number ( active vs. all ) to display
 there?

 I can't create a patch, but here are the snippets for creating the option
 in admin.php?page=bp-settings
 https://gist.github.com/3105405

 I'm not sure how best to use this option in the code... Just in bp-default
 templates ?
