How many will stay?
once the other sites some back on line. That's the really interesting question.

That is the good question.
IMO - it's likely that some, not insignificant, portion is likely to stay due to the quality and basic enjoyment people find in reading stories here, such as those you post. :-) What that portion is? Who knows. It's also likely that some will return to their regularly scheduled programming (AKA previous sites)... As long as they find what they want there and they work.
Who knows. Maybe this is just the beginning of a major global boom in interest in TG fiction. :-)

FictionMania?
Is that due to FictionMania going offline? In any case, I'm here and expect to stay for awhile. I like the stories and format on BCTS. Other sites seem to have just died. Crystal's, what? Four months since its last update. Sapphire's, last June? I click on BCTS two or three times a day and there's nearly always something new. Great work!
I am a grain of sand on a near beach; a nova in the sky, distant and long.
In my footprints wash the sea; from my hands flow our universe.
Fact and fiction sing a legendary song.
Trickster/Creator are its divine verse.

Um, go here: ]Clicky[
Over 150,000 visits a month is great, but since Fictionmania...
...has been offline and Crystal's Story Site is being redone, you have seen more than double the 150,000!
The word has gone out and I expect the numbers to remain where they are Erin and even increase.
No other site has this many stories that authors can post themselves and you have new content constantly!
People can come in the morning and get new stories, they can return in the afternoon and still get new stories! No other site as large as this one can even come close to this!
You have set new standards Erin and you too Bob for TG Fiction archive sites!
Congratulations and long may this site live on!

I Don't Know What's Wrong With Me
...but I just love graphs! And that's a statistically significant one if ever I saw one.
I like graphs -- the lines, the colors, the visualization of concepts!
Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me, probably lots of things. I mean, for starters, I'm here, right? And, the tv is on right now, quietly tuned to the City's soundless traffic cam channel, rather than listening to the breathless talking heads on the network affiliates, yammering about the "snowstorm of the millenium" (yet again!) and the personal-interest stories of people who got slush in their ankle boots while crossing the street, and the snowplows who got stuck behind double-parked cars. I'm all for full employment, but can't these people stop producing the exact same show every time three snowflakes get together?
Yeah... and I like graphs.
It may well be the...
snowstorm of the millennium elsewhere, but we got less than 3 inches - okay drifts were a whole foot. WOW. It's also awful early in the millennium to make that call, we have what 91-2 more years to go?
Graphs can be fun, and graphs can be made to appear to tell one story while the data really tells another. *sighs* (I agree the #s are striking.)
Annette
Thought that also
I've seen some examples in the past of how numbers can be manipulated to look the way you want them to look, most global warming graphs are done in that fashion. But Erin's graph looks pretty straightford in it's presentation, and the numbers are quite telling. In fact, just watching the behavior of the home page under varying loads the last six months gives a good indication of just how hard Erin and Bob and co. have worked to keep things up and running. When the daytrippers have gone home, it will be interesting to see how much tha load/demand changes.
They know they can survive

Not sure how many inches it is, but here's some pics of around my house :)

Correction...
As was pointed out to me in a PM... A millennium is 1,000 years, not 100 years. *sighs* So there's another 991-992 years left in the millennium. *sighs* Well, using the calendar where THIS year is 2009. I know there are other calendars.
One point, before someone suggests the thousand years between 1011 and 2010... We're still comming out of the "mini-ice age" that had it's peak about 400 years ago (exact # could easily be off, I'm getting senile in my old age). I suspect that there were some doosies of storms before they started recording things.
Annette
Actually...
This is the year 5769. In about two hundred ten years, seven months the seventh millennium will begin.

My thoughts exactly!
Happiness and success are neither necessarily contemporaneous nor connected.

Doesn't look too scary.
After all the numbers for March look well down on February :)
I don't think visitors to FM or Story Site and a drop in visitor here is necessarily likely to happen. I used to visit both those sites regularly and still came here. I still find Crystal's forum useful and that's had a lot more use since FM's temporary demise.
Quite apart from that, it seems congratulations are in order to all who run Big Closet.
Remember - over 99% of the world's population has more than the average number of legs.

Now that is a true statistic which proves nothing, Geoff
I love it!

It is easy to lie with statistics, about statistics, or even ignore statistics in attempting to make a point.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Holly
Which?
My accurate analysis on the March v February figures (accurate, but not, I admit, complete) or my comment on the problems of quoting averages in my little sign-off line? The latter, btw, comes from personal experience; my father only sported one and three quarter legs :)

I use three legs, wich is quite common. Some use six legs (a walker). A few of us, especially if we are less than one-year-old use four legs. So I suggest that the statistic is backwards: over 80% of the world use less legs than the average.
