I was trying to figure out what happened and realized today I had run
the migration script to migrate to the new notebook format.  It turns
out that I've been counting "number of accounts" by "number of
worksheet directories".  Well, there were nearly 5000 inactive
accounts from long ago with no directories.  The migration script
recreated those directories in the course of copying them over.   So
this was a false alarm.

That said, there are in fact a total of about 14,000 accounts on
sagenb.org, but only 9,000 are recent/active (there have indeed been
about 5,000 new accounts created over the last month), and the number
of new ones each day is still holding at about 100-200.
