Nice catch.  In the user_profiles table we are storing two pieces of data, "fans" and "fanned".  All of the other tables were wiped when we flushed the database, but we forgot to wipe these two fields. These fields will be reset to their proper value once:
a. The user fans another user.
b. Another fans the user.

For example, in order to test I'm going to visit http://mcc.stage.mozilla.com/people.  The user `intothefuzz` is listed as having the incorrect value of 3 fans.  I'll go to that users page and click "Become a Fan".  When I return to http://mcc.stage.mozilla.com/people the user has the proper value of 1 fan.  

I think it's too late to flush those fields in the database, and is a problem that will work itself out once these users start using the site again.

I'll mark it as "worksforme"; let me know if you feel strongly otherwise.
