I'm looking at the data and talking with mk. So right now we're at approximately 80 hits/minute at so far we have ???? new users. I'll post some comparisons from last years theoryofreddit frontpage post. Give me a minute. Our servers are hurting. mk and fowardslash have been working for the last 3 hours trying to sort it all out. 10/1 Midnight (east coast time) (reddit post was posted 9 hours ago): 10/2 1:45am: 3am East Coast Time (aka bed time) 9:30am EST (good morning!) Here is the graph of the last year: (updated graph, 3am): (updated graph, 9:30am) 9:30pm EST 10/2 That spike on the left is the /r/theoryofreddit post and you can see the spike today. And, if you are curious, we redid what we track on the analytics so that's why it looks like we've had a sudden drop in visitors....we really haven't. They are just on a different graph now.
