I think these are on the high side for both forums (just checked now a few minutes later and it's 18/26/134 which is probably more reflective of standard), but it's still pretty interesting to me that Lounge + EDF total viewers (obv some overlap, but I bet not a ton) can at times be around 50% of BBV4L.

The Lounge: Discussion+Review (28 viewing)
EDF (43 viewing)
BBV4Life (134 viewing)

On a related note, glancing down the list of forums it's surprising to me to see 2+2 have such a large number of forums with just a handful of viewers.

I keep track of BBV and it is probably average 250-300 viewing during the day.

Part of it is volume. I read EDF and BBV4L actually, but it just takes much longer to read one than the other, given the volume of topics. I assume that part of what you're seeing is just more people lingering as you do these snapshot views.

Dibs,

Right, that is part of what I find interesting about the numbers, specifically the ratios of viewers/posts.

d,

Man, nath and I and a few others MADE bbv. And now this bastard Gild gets all the credit. F'ing travesty.

Diablo,

How is this really surprising/interesting? I'd be surprised by anything else, really.

Re: Random traffic comment
 

I wonder if the software double-counts users who are browsing in multiple tabs. For example, I'm super ADD and at the moment I have open in Firefox three 2+2 tabs, and several others for various sites because my focus shifts constantly. Right now I'm considered "in" this forum, but if I go to another tab and click a different forum, does it "uncount" me from this one?

Not a big deal but it could artificially inflate numbers by a little bit if it's counting people multiple times.

I see you've never been to SMP. Which should be renamed SIIMP by the way.

xorbie,

The surprising/interesting part to me is the relative growth of the smaller forums as compared to BBV4L.

It wasn't that long ago that "OOT was dead" and BBV4L was where "all the good posting" was. LOL.

ElD,

Ah. I thought you were surprised that BBV4L (which would be a much better candidate for being renamed SIIMP, tuq) was so high. I'm not really surprised that TL and ELDF are fairly popular (the latter moreso owing to having your name on it), because there's a pretty big demographic on this site that have actually graduated college. Some of them even majored in philosophy or English and thus in addition to having lots of time on their hands, need an outlet for their feeling of intellectual superiority.

I just read ELD and the Lounge for the comics, Jumble and Sudoku.
