January - was a better month than I thought it would be. The unique visitor count was down (as I expected), but the number of page views was higher. I expected it to be lower after the Christmas "rush".

What's with Conquistador?

does that include the posts from the Werewolf forum? a quick count shows about 13K+ posts for the werewolf forum in jan.

I can't remember if I filtered those out, but I doubt that I did the work. How did you do a "quick" count?

I have the posts from the werewolf games saved in my database on the Cassandra site, so i just did a sql query to get the number of posts since the start of the year (there would actually be more since not all the threads in that forum are games, and i only have the game ones saved)

it is really staggering the amount of traffic bgg gets!

what does the load average on your boxes usually run?

Ok, seriously- has anyone figured out what's with Conquistador? That's baffling to me.

... you mean "perry rhodan" "kosmische hanse" glumpler isn't baffling you? Please enlighten me!

Oh, I know exactly what that is. That was my search, actually. I was more confused about why Conquistador is up in the top 10 searches!

Irregardless, one nice effect is the designer is using the focus to solicit feedback on the old edition -- and offering insight on the new edition.

which should keep people coming too.

Ups - that is my search (or so I thought). I use this keywords in google to find reviews for my game to be included as links at my website. Since the game is only published in german up to now I mostly find german reviews using this search.
