The number in brackets after your name is simply the total amount of posts - discussions, responses and comments - you have made. It isn't used for anything but it does give some indication to others how active you have been

How long did it take you to get to over 40,000 posts and comments? @owlwings

@christinadanderson You can see when I joined in my profile (or the exact date if you use the user search on my username). I am not as prolific a poster as some, though!
