Subject: how many people are posting in the h3 forum? just curious.

HI all,
Just curious as to the average number of people posting per hour or day in the h3 forum?
Traffic on here seems to have gone up a bit since the announcement.
Thanks guys. :-)

too many.

no, there can never be too many.

but realistically, there's at least over 500 people posting there. As for the exact number, achronos could say the influx of people joining bnet since the announcement trailer, though i doubt he will.

Actually, Alexa.com is merely an estimate. Let me explain how it works:
* They have a toolbar which a few people (4-5 million) supposedly have downloaded.
* They take the stats reported from their toolbar, create a percentage of people visiting it, and then multiply it by the number of people on the internet.

This means that for big sites, it's quite accurate. For smaller sites, it's dismally incorrect, for one or two people might represent 10-20 million by their estimates. It's good to get a general idea, but its not a good source to quote or use in a paper--nobody knows the exact statistics on the internet.

Those are hits a day, not posts. Hits being the amount of page views.
