Colorful Free Republic Daily Site Statistics

[John Robinson]

With the conclusion of last week, two years of Free Republic site statistics are now available for comparison. Watch the forum grow 300-400% in those two years. A remarkable achievement for a site advertised almost solely word-of-mouth.

Click here to dazzle yours eyes and mind. A bountiful cornucopia, statistically pleasing, matrix of pure joy awaits.

Wow! Looks great on my old Netscape 4.7
Mighty impressive!

John, this is more than colorful -- it is coloricious! My boss has sent me home for the day because I have been licking the screen (tastes GREAT!).

Just being,

[DeSoto]

Could you explain the difference between "Distinct URLs" and "Distinct Hosts". I'm just not savvy enough to understand. Is the large number of Hosts mean that there are tens of thousand of individual lurkers out there in cyber-land?

Thanks

[sweetliberty]

A conspiracy?? Hehehe

[John Robinson]

Coloricious! I like it! Yes, it is very tasty. Not too loud. And has a pleasant smooth texture. Synesthetic!

I know you've been hounded to death with requests lately, but it sure would help if you could break down the signups into GENUINES and DISRUPTORS. :-)

very good stats info

[KateUTWS]

MMMMM, minty fresh statistics, love it!

I only see a purple haze, no data.

Jimmy Hendrix would be pleased.

Excuse me, while I kiss the sky.

Distinct Hosts

This is the approximate number of readers of Free Republic for the day. (An over-simplification, the details are gory.)

Distinct URLs

This is the count of unique URL addresses (destinations, pages) served by Free Republic. Each URL address is counted only once.

When this number spikes, it's a fair indication that a web search engine (like google) has been indexing Free Republic.)

My boss has sent me home for the day because I have been licking the screen (tastes GREAT!)

OTOH, licking the screen is actually a written job requirement for me.

My ionized tongue. O, my ionized tongue.

[PJ-Comix]

I just posted some of the stats on a UseNet NewsGroup. Gotta publicize how popular the FR is.

[DoughtyOne]

Great job Jim. The charts are very informative. And that winter fresh green? Who could ask for anything more?

[Lazamataz]

I know you've been hounded to death with requests lately, but it sure would help if you could break down the signups into GENUINES and DISRUPTORS. :-)

How about GENIUSES and DORKMEISTERS.

Wile E. Lazamataz, Genius.

Distinct Hosts

Huh.

And all this time I thought Distinct Hosts were individual Communion Wafers.

[DeSoto]

Thanks John, I appreciate the explanation.

Keep up the great work that you do. This place is hummin' along smooth as glass.

[ethical]

Got it now. Very pretty.

[harpu]

I second that...

Got it now. Very pretty.

I like the distinct posters chart. Now if we could just have a list of indistinct posters.....(just a joke and not necessarily a good one, either)
