At the bottom after it populates it shows the amount of MN, showing clearly it is 2312 actives right now.
Whatever the tally it would be sensible to expect a few masternode cashouts. There are people who bought in because of the name and there will be people who cash out because of it.
Yeah, it's logical to expect it, but wpalczynski keeps pointing to a figure which is far from accurate. Almost 300 mn difference. Just correcting him.

Look at the bottom of this page, only 2051 have unique IP addresses.
Total Masternodes: 2311 = 2311 actives + 0 inactives [2051 unique IPs]
Dude it is always like that, 2324 active nodes right now. Some people run multiple masternodes on the same server or something is a configuration thing. If you are trying to see if the community is united it is, the masternode count did not change at all.
Why is IRC bot giving a much lower number? Coincidentally the same number as the number of unique ips.
Maybe because those are the ones it can detect? I am not an expert hopefully you will get your answer soon. Ask on IRC or on darkcointalk.org, if you are truly interested.
The point is it has always been like that, is not a new thing or related to branding. Good question though.
the problem is not about any wrong counts on any pages or irc, but that wpalczynski take the high number from another page then the low number from irc, just to tell us masternodes are going down ... and thats some kind of a lie (dunno if intentinally)
if you try to compare some numbers to get a delta you should take the numbers from the same source or it doesn't make any sense!
