Not exactly a blog post, but this has me wondering, what are your thoughts on the base community? The ones that made the bedrock of the community. Are they still around? Still supporting the community? From what I've seen lately, it seems that while numbers are high, the community seems... low to be honest. I've noticed that you stated that you observed the community at large in Gateway. What have you seen? I'm curious since you said that you noticed concentrations in specific areas during peak and low times. I'm also curious as to how you saw this? Just lots of thoughts floating in my mind. :) Interesting article, Kouketsu.

I’ve noticed that you stated that you observed the community at large in Gateway.

What have you seen? I’m curious since you said that you noticed concentrations in specific areas during peak and low times. I’m also curious as to how you saw this?

Just lots of thoughts floating in my mind. :)

Alexa's becoming less and less useful for measuring traffic, as people become more net-saavy. (Since you have to have their toolbar installed to get counted.) If you're interested in stat porn, check out our <a href="http://www.roleplaygateway.com/reports.php" rel="nofollow">activity graph</a> for more hardcore trend-tracking. Each point on that graph (currently) represents about 17 days, with the current period being the last point. That big hump in the beginning? That's GWing.net when I created it. That's the core memberbase. There was some weeding that went on, but there was definitely a core base that's stuck with us this whole time. The first big spike was the posting contest, by the way. November 20th through December 20th. I think it served its purpose, and combined with the organic search traffic we receive, we continue to grow. Bravo, top notch.
