Approximate numbers involved now: Goonswarm and its allies, 22,000, BoB + LV + bob pets (even the ones who won't fight) right around 10,000.
Truly an epic battle. And for the first time, Goonfleet are the good guys in the eyes of the pubbie "community." I think that's what will hurt BoB the most in the long run* -- the fact that everything they've ever accomplished now amounts to jack and poo poo in the eyes of others who play the game -
I also find all of this fascinating and I'm glad that the OP brought it to everyone's attention. BoB's done. Devs won't be helping them anymore and many of their allied corps will abandon them in the next month.

It's too bad the actual game itself is dry and boring like an excel spreadsheet. The community and people really make the game insanely complex.

I for one have always thought BoB was kind of funny. I imagine BoB as a court noble in the middle ages. A fat pompous jackass with lots of land and money who commands dozens of vassals and knights based on his heritage but would cry and whimper if someone punched him in the mouth. Unlike the disorganized mining mob that was ASCN I think RedSwarm or D2 alone could give BoB a run but together they can run wild like old school Hulkamania.

The war will involve around 40k players directly, and will basically shape how EvE is going to work from now on
