MODS: Curious about a few stats for today (7/20)

[GilpinGuy]

I'm curious, since I have never seen so many "Currently Active Users" here before today:

• Was there was a big spike in new "members" today?
• Did a significant number of these new members behave "normally" (post in the New Members Sign In thread, etc.)?
• Were there more "inflammatory" posts removed by the MODS than normal?
• Were there a lot of complaints or inquiries from these new members about why they couldn't access the Trading Post?

I can just imagine a ton of liberal journalists or activists (same thing) trying to infiltrate the site and maybe even stir things up a little with inflammatory posts. I haven't seen many stupid posts, so that's good. But maybe they got excised quickly and I never saw them.

I can also imagine these same a-holes trying to get into the TP to copy and paste the "evil black guns" that are listed there in their slanted and misguided "reports" on the "out of control gun culture of Colorado".

If you can share any info, great. If not, understood. Keep up the great work with the forum!

I'll keep it simple.

Today was an insanely busy day for every member of the staff. We appreciate your thanks and accolades and ask for your patience and understanding on other things that may have been neglected or seemed different from the norm. The site has seen much, much, much, more traffic today than any other day in recent history.

Most people on at one time today...

Oh man, wonder if the site is going to get tons of trolls and spammers.

Big thanks to all the MODS! You guys are awesome!

Well I see 32 people registered on the forums today, with only a couple having posted. One posted in this thread. One or two others introduced themselves.

Yeah, I just found out how to see this info. I just never thought of, or had an interest in, looking for it before.

The last two bullet points would still be interesting though.

The answer to the first is yes. The second is no.

Additionally, the figures listed a few posts back are way off. The first two are also yes and no in that order.
