Ahh...whipping out the technical terms...'behind-the-scenes number'
And...AFAIK...vBulletin just greps through the database and counts their posts and stuff. (Another board I read uses vBulletin...they recently purged a few years of posts and I lost a bit of my postcount)
Too bad vBulletin isn't written in my language  Perl rules. And yes, I am Larry Wall :-D
