When I started the thread Who reads FR?, I chose the title as it is the header of a section on the home page of FR:

Who reads FR?
Over 300,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic since inception in 1996 and our forum is read daily by over one hundred thousand freedom loving citizens and patriots from all around the country, and all around the world. We're currently delivering over thirty million pageviews per month to over one million visitors.

This section wasn't changed since the first week of Dec 2008, when the number of users went up from 200,000 to 300,000 and the number of pageviews and visitors was introduced for the first time.

I have no doubt that you thought at this time that the number of people who have registered for posting privileges was correct then, as the user ID #300,000 was already taken in May 2008, though less than 230,000 user names were registered in Dec 2008.

And I have no doubt that the statement We're currently delivering over thirty million pageviews per month to over one million visitors was correct at the time. But is it still correct today? Are you currently delivering that many pageviews and greet that many visitors? Have a look at the monthly edits here at FR:
The numbers are impressive and reflect the contributions of a strong community. Nevertheless, the months prior to Dec 2008 were exceptional - Oct 2008 is the strongest month since 2005. That's not much of a surprise because of the presidential elections in this year.
As one may assume that the number of pageviews and of visitors is somewhat proportional to the number of edits, the currently current figures should have dropped considerably from the time two years ago.

So, why not give the current information - or drop the lines, as they are at best of historic interest, at worst misleading.

You need to be Zotted! Seriously!

You're like a dog with a bone that no one else wants. If I was a Mod you'd be gone simply for being an annoying JERK.

Our pageviews per day varies by the news cycles. On big news days it can go over 2,000,000 pageviews per day. On most average weekdays it’s over 1,000,000 per day. On weekends and holidays it’s less. The exact number would only be important if we were selling advertising and we’re not. You’re not a big FR user so why do you care?

Tell me, are you the whiner that started truebluerino?

Are you a male in the real world with a real job or are you just a bored, neglected housewife with too much time on your hands?

What are you, the self-appointed king of minutia?

Who cares, and more to the point as JR asks, why do you care?

Are you the whiner that started truebluerino?

Inquiring FReepers want to know.
