do you have comparables to PE2?

Good question.

We didn't keep many stats on PEv2 because they slowed the (already slow) system too much.

The details we captured for a short time, and the regular stats found on the Site Statistics page, were different to the metrics here on PEv3 - so there's no real apples-to-apples comparison.

Using fairly crude math to interpolate the equivalent stats, I'd say that the activities on the old site in October were slightly higher than the (holiday-influenced) December stats here.

I'm always amazed at the number of guests. Why don't these people register? Or is it people who logged out, and are reading without logging in?

I often read without logging in. In fact I only log in when I've got something to say :lol
