I hope PSU has premium hosting

I don't really know much about the underbelly of how PSU is run, but man, Hamma, I hope you know how big your baby's getting. I was on PSU earlier today when I saw the announcement about the PC gamer article with Beta keys get posted... and now for the past hour the "number viewing" statistic for the PS2 discussion forum has been 100+ consistently.

That got me wondering... how much traffic does PSU actually get? And can you share any recent statistics with us? Or maybe you've uncovered something else that's cool or interesting about the site's visitors?

I remember Hamma mentioning that when PS2 was sorta officially announced, the traffic increased like 700% :D

I just had such a though when I tried to post something and it almost lagged out. Traffic gets increased gradually and very fast, the new PCG issue thread boosted it to hell!..

We are pretty consistent in visitors, the majority of our traffic is also returning visitors as opposed to new ones.

Honestly things are holding stable so far I have not seen the servers even break a sweat yet other than a little lag here and there. We are in teh cloud! :)

Here is our traffic since around July of last year ;)

That spike from July is from Fan Faire, innit?

Yep :D
