I enjoy it when you bring the stats like this - thanks - would be interesting to understand what was behind that spike - surely it can't be Olympia related? Or did another site close down maybe..?
Thank you good sir, I appreciate this can be a niche interest amidst the always volatile and entertaining Bhanksian skirmishes haha
As to the cause, I cannot say entirely: on the one hand, the rapid uptake against trend does not feel organic, just too quick and sustained and out of nowhere (not sure of other boards, who needs them when you have gb lol), possibly some sort of counta duplication or some such maybe, unsure
On the other hand, a 5 minute 'constant refresh' look at the Who's Online page shows a
very high turnover of Guests viewing a wide range of different topics literally each second or two, which does feel more 'real'.
And as a bit of a segue on this, its very apparent that a HUGE amount of getbig guest viewing goes to old, sometimes very old, threads, not just the G&O front page, for eg:
* "Does the Hulk drink green tea?" (2009)
* "Zach Kahn - THE FREAK" (2006)
And, yes this was a real thread started by Primemuscle:
* "Justin Bieber Rushed to Hospital Following First Erection" (2012)
