statistics, then and now
Occasionally (when I remember to) I take a snapshot of the site's statistics for future reference and comparison (in the future we'll have historical stats as well as present-day stats -- the data's there, there's just no pretty frontend for the comparisons yet). I was doing that tonight, and I figured, for shits and giggles it might be neat to present a "then and now" comparison.
Behind the cut: a table with comparison figures for three time periods, as close to one year apart as I have the data.
* We only started reporting the paid account percentages down to tenths of a percent somewhere after 1 Jul 2010, so the numbers for 1 Jun are rounded to whole percentages.
So, there are more people active in the last 24 hours today than there were active in the last week on 1 Jun 2010 and more people active in the last 7d today than there were in the last 30d on 1 Jun 2010, and we have over four times the paid accounts and over twice the premium paid accounts today as we did two years ago. I do find it fascinating that the paid account percentages as taken across both the whole userbase and the active userbase have remained mostly the same, even as the raw numbers have grown by leaps and bounds!
