    Hovering around popularity level of 215 000 for about 10 months and then a nose dive to about 280 000 over 4 months. December seems to have established a trend. Does it have something to do with Santa Claus?

    The northern winter is traditionally a slow time for Sciforums; our big southern drive comes from Australia, which just isn't enough to sustain the numbers when Americans, Canadians, Europeans, and advocates of Russia awaken to our season of darkness.

    I mean who cares if it makes money? We can do a kickstarter.

    I know Australia's been mentioned in this thread, but is there some other reason why the graph's Y axis is inverted?

    EDIT: Ah. Because it's a ranking.

    Well, maybe its popularity didn't shrink, maybe a bunch of site got more popular, whereas SciFo did not increase proportionately.

    The country-of-origin stats there for site visitors is interesting. The representation from India is almost entirely spammers, which also explains why the average page views is a little over 1.

    I remember when this site was lively. Now it's moribund.

    I think there's a general trend away from discussion forums. Instead, many people choose to spend their time on social media (TwitFace and the like. Oh wait, it's InstaBook, isn't it? No wait...).

    I spent so much time on Facebook and MySpace trying to get my friends to join it got confusing. I was always asking them to come on MyFace, and no one responded.

    Interesting.

    It seems like sci-forums ranks 322,560 in its ''global internet engagement'' rank.

    When I first joined, it was pretty busy, here. I think forums are kind of ''dying'' in general...to other forms of social media. I was happy to see that some of the regulars that I remember, are still here, when I returned recently.

    I'm still trying to figure out how moving from 215,000 to 280,000 is "nose diving"?

    Because of the magnitude? Or the direction?
