Oops! I posted the wrong URL. I corrected it in the article body,
here it is.
I have two versions of that report. One has administrative information (IP addresses, etc.) At least I now know the access controls work.
To: Admin Moderator
How about you come up with some new stats like:
Number of ZOT posts
Number of ZOT posts Zotted
Estimated time from the initial ZOT posting to when the post is ZOTed
Also...I havent seen the Viking Kitty pic in a while...and I'm quite depressed LOL.

Due to brain damage, some browsers do not work properly or at all when viewing a compressed page, and therefore must not be sent compressed pages. I hope I am not working on one of the brain damaged browsers!

Amazing Stats. And a great reminder that people need to help support FR with MONTHLY payments.

Dual CPU, dual server. We have two web servers. They're reached through a reverse proxy. The proxy does the compression. It really is a sight! The proxy currently reports a .122% CPU load at 57 requests per second average. And since most pages are generated and dumped into the kernel buffer to be spoonfed to the network (and the file descriptor handed off to a third party for lingering close) the web daemon is quickly freed from the request. During heavy load the daemon often only has a few requests being served at any moment in time.
(But of course, as I sit here bragging about how well it is running, it all falls down. Oh!)

New signups on Thursday: 350...the fourth highest total behind 3 days in the timeframe just after the 2000 elections. Welcome, newbies! Glad to have you!
And now, we consecrate the bonds of obedience.

WAY KOOL! You got a server, or system of servers, that's for sure!
To: John Robinson
Thanks and bump.
To: grania; FreedomPoster; tictoc
grania-- It was removed because of a severe performance penalty due to each hit causing a database update. I have, in theory, a better way of doing it now, I'd like to try it again later.
FreedomPoster--
I would guess, from the telco's perspective, voice and digital circuits are similar if not one-in-the-same, and the pricing would probably be similar as well. I don't really know, I have neither. We're colocated with Verio in San Jose. We don't need no stinkin' CSU/DSU or other telco headaches.
tictoc--
HTTP 1.1 is probably the default on capable browsers. I haven't ever needed to switch it on, but somebody may. Thanks for pointing that out.
It's been a lot of fun getting this system tuned to handle the war time traffic. I've learned much about the guts of the technology we use here. I cried when I realized there was nothing left to tune. :-D We need more traffic! More tuning! MORE TUNING!
To: John Robinson
Apparently mod_gzip has been around for a while, but many websites have not yet implemented it.
This page -- Making your website super fast-loading -- was not too far above my head, and it contains links to more detailed information.

Thanks for the stats. I enjoy a good read!
To: tictoc
HTTP compression is a thorny issue. So far I've had only one report of a reader unable to visit. OTOH, without it, thousands would be unable to visit. It's time to upgrade those browsers.
To: John Robinson
Now:
Sustained bandwidth of 8 Mbits, peaking at 10 Mbits. 70 requests per second, often seeing 80 and 90 requests per second. No sweat. Give me more!
