I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror greed ...

It was obvious tbh. I even asked Dave to check the statistics (didn't knew it was publicly available).

It's clear from the graphs that the current increase in new users started in December and, actually, has dropped back a bit since then. Obviously the contest will have drawn some new users but that largest part seem to have arrived before it started.

I note that there was a similar increase (though smaller) in new users last year around xmas, perhaps new toys has an effect.

Otherwise most of the numbers have steadily been increasing.

There does look to be a sharp peak in posts - no doubt people trying to satisfy the"5 useful posts" rule, but it's hard to see how big it is as it's right at the edge of the graph.

I am a newbie that will be sticking around.  I just started electronics as a hobby.  Through some searches I think it was on Multimeters I found your video blog.  Then from your video blog I found your website and then the forums.  I really liked the diversity of your forums covering so many different areas including the one that interests me micro electronics with the use of uC's.  After browsing a bit I really liked the quality of the community it reminds me of another community I frequent called GameDev.net.  The people you have here are of various knowledge levels and each one has a unique input on solving a problem and when they answer they typically answer in a mature fashion.  So because of this I signed up for the forums and here I am.  So far I think I only had one really dumb post in General but my other posts have brought some great in site into what I was trying to understand.  I am here to stay :D

Do the contests have anything to do with this?
After all, they require you to register and post at least 5. I don't know how many contest besides the fluke one have taken place in the past though...
