Since number of pages can vary based on the number of posts per page, we should go by post number. We're over 800 posts, whooo!

Less?
Based on?
But, sure, that's probably not too far from 1 per actual player - with the occasional couple who buy just one PHB between them (guilty) and the even more occasional whole-group-passing-around-one-book (you could get away with multiple players all using one on-line DDI subscription, but not so much a physical book), balancing out the the occasional jump-the-gun newbie who bought before playing, then realized he didn't care for it.
Of course, that doesn't count all the people still playing in isolated, gamers-that-time-forgot, groups that haven't bought a book in decades. ;P

Heh. Joking aside though, blind players. I've known more than a few over the years.

I'm at 38 pages, FWIW.
Your post is post #748 for me by the way.
Since post numbers can vary because who ignores whom (and the relatively recent change in how my posts are removed from your viewing pleasure not only if you ignore me as before, but also now if I ignore you), the only really surefire way is to go by the internal database number assigned to each post.
Luckily, when you click a post number like #748, you don't actually get an URL referencing the number 748 - you get the database number (=6944393). Unluckily, the URL doesn't take posts per page settings into account*, so while the HTML anchor gets set correctly, the browser will not find the post, since you're sent to the "wrong" page.
*) Either that or the page calculation fails to account for ignored/invisible posts; not sure.
In the end, about the only surefire way to make a reference to a certain post that will work for all forumists (a link that sends everybody to the right place, regardless of settings) that I know of is to follow a quote link; the link created when you quote somebody (and doesn't type in the QUOTE tag yourself).
At the top of this post, I have quoted MichaelSomething. If you click the small blue icon right after his username, you should be sent to the right place. But I don't know of any other way to link to that post that works for y'all. For instance, here's the URL I get from his post number (the link behind the #748 in the upper bar of his post, right corner). Remember, the number 748 might be different from you):
http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...-please-stop&p=6944393&viewfull=1#post6944393
While the internal DB number should be the same for everybody (6944393), in my experience, this link breaks if the posts per page calculation fails.

I'm not sure you're right about it not linking right, but whatever - Wow! you're missing a lot of this thread. Like nearly 10% of it. (And lots more if I'm also missing nearly 10%)

On the contrary, I suspect I should be rather thankful...

How can you guys live with only 10 posts per page? X_X
On-topic: Most of the extra info in the APs that can be used for all games are released as supplements for free, so it shouldn't be that big of an issue.
I don't really play outside official APs so it doesn't affect me much.
