Is there anyway we could get stats of the number of viewers at regular intervals, like every hour or 30 minutes? It would be interesting to see it graphed.

Oh. Wrong thread.

I thought this was the math nerds Joke thread.

Well - we were until just after 9 pm CDT. Interseting that we see these peaks between 8-9 pm CDT. Must be nothing better to do after work on the west coast.

Interesting. The sound of one hand clapping is the same as two hands not clapping.

Oops, this isn't the philosophy forum...

I can clap with one hand. The trick is to keep the wrist in a fixed position when you move your arm back and forth. If you can relax your fingers at the same time, they will hit your palm hard enough to make a clapping sound.

Why do we have so many guests? Compare these numbers from roughly five minutes ago:

Physics Forums: 176 members and 7968 guests
JREF: 158 members and 255 guests

JREF is the James Randi educational foundation.

Why do we have so many guests? Compare these numbers from roughly five minutes ago:

People desire quality, PF has quality, people come.

 

[Evo]

There is a lot of valuable information here.

Once in a while a member will register just to Pm me and thank me for posts I made 3 years ago that solved the problem they were googling for. That's always a nice feeling.

 

[rhody]

There could be a second peak during the next 30 min.

 

[rhody]

Remember Roy Scheider's famous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gciFoEbOA8" in the movie Jaws ? "You are going to need a bigger boat", does that gradually increasing site traffic mean PF needs a bigger boat, more and faster hardware to deal with the load ? Greg ?
