we got dugg

Wasn't that when the "article" about PS3 reaching 10mil before X360 was dugg?

 ah well i must have missed that..well now you see how much effect a digg has!

^^ Yeah we had about 3000-4000 guests all day and the site was real slow...

The above is the number of users on during last week's digg...  The system should handle the next digg much better.

^Where'd you get that jlauro?

Also I like seeing how the hits changes through the week, it's like a sine curve with Monday-Wednesday as the peak, and Thursday-Sunday the trough.

It's graphed from polling every 5 minutes the total users online (green), and the members (blue line).

 apparently i must have missed that aswell.....

like ur sig.!!!! 

 Is there a site that does that for like the top 10k sites on the net or is it something you're doing personally?
