Yes, Gary, XF allows you to choose which nodes allow messages to be counted.

If they didn't want their totals to be added, they'd uncheck that box. However, those "monthly" totals you see in the bar include every single node/forum/butt-check/ whatever, in order to seem as busy as possible.
It started off daily, they'd have 40 for leaders, slowly shrunk to like 10... then moved length to a week, it increased that number, giving the look of being still busy... the number shrunk again, now its at a month...
