Not too long after Christmas indeed.

Inflate your Upload Space

panag,
There was hardly a noticable rise in the number of logins during the release of PtW (since Civ3's release the growth rate has been pretty much a straight line), so I doubt Conquests will have much an an effect either.

DC,
Well, I gave you 32 chances

But your info *can* be used to fill some gaps in my charts (the 9k date and 2k/3k/4k). Where did you get that data anyway? Forums and news are pretty useless for pre-2000 and AFAIK you yourself weren't around yet in '99...

Anyway, what did you use as trendline? I couldn't get any type of trend to look good (floating average was close, but was basically a copy of the existing graph, only slightly smoother)...

I will attach the Growth rate and the Time to reach Milestone charts again with DC's data incorporated:

Gramphos,
I said 3 times already that I knew the date was wrong

But only when I saw DC's date, I knew why: when the news item said month 19-12, it was a typo for 19-2 -- even I should have thought of that


Anyway, here are 2 (hopefully) final graphs, which now also include other milestones: dates of game releases (and other important events, such as birth of Apolyton, Settler I & II and the shutdown of Gamestats). [Yes, I stole the idea from DC ]

And before newbies ask: Gamestats was a network Apolyton was an affiliate of before we went independent. For the first couple of years, we were hosted on their servers. When the dotcom bubble burst, Gamestats went broke, causing some serious access problems for Apolyton (we were even temporarily hosted on a Greek university site to keep the site running, where we suffered from almost as many power blackouts as California )
