Climber, I don't have any stats--that was something Doug did, and frankly I just ain't got them mad skillz--but the views on any given topic or thread are cumulative so they don't reflect specific spikes. One thing that DOES happen on landing days (unsurprisingly) is that the number of users on really hits the roof. I believe that we went well over 1000 on Curiosity's landing day & even a bit higher when InSight touched down. The Forum generally attracts a wave of new members afterwards as well, one reason being that we've been called out on at least two occasions that I can recall at JPL post-landing press conferences. Tom, yeah, that's fairly normal but it also can change minute by minute. From what I've seen a large fraction of the 'guests' are apparently automated, likely web crawlers doing scans for search engines. There are of course some actual people as well, but probably not the majority. That said, members pop on and off 24/7/365 from all over the world. There really hasn't been a fixed activity nadir time that I can discern, but it does quiet down a bit during late evening hours in Europe and North America. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
