No, "only" > 500 active members in last month. And altogether over the years > 2000, so still some way till 5000.

@Narayana and Qodec: thanks a lot for your nice comments. I made hint 2 more precise: instead of "alphabet" it's now "complete alphabet"

Congratulations, and beautiful puzzle, very fitting!
Rule 2 was a bit confusing to me, took me a while to figure out what 'corner' meant in this context. So if it helps here's an attempt at phrasing it differently: cells that are adjacent to each other, orthogonally as well as diagonally, never contain letters that are consecutive in the alphabet. (e.g. D+E cannot occur but F+H can.)
