As a general trend, usage is increasing across the board, page views, hits, bandwidth and (to a much lesser degree) storage.
Utilization is way up during the week, notably on Tuesday and Wednesday. I find Wednesday odd because that's when I've been running Exalted - must be during the day. As a general trend, usage peaks around 1500-1600 server time (which I think is Eastern). The vast majority of page hits came from the US (no surprise there) with "Unknown" coming up seconds and Dominica coming up third. We got a single hit from Canada in July. Page hits were dominated by a single person (over three times as many hits as the next IP address on the list). I need to check the IP, but I think its me. :P
65.1% of you are using MSIE. Normally I'd be outraged at this, except I use it at work too, so I'm also guilty. :P Luckily only 7.5% are using Safari, even though 10.2% are connecting from Macs :P
We got 14 whole hits from search engines!
We got 24K hits on our 404 not found page. I should make a custom one.
Disk storage space is currently at 146.54/1536000 MB
Total bandwidth usage for July rounds out to about 1.54GB, which is WAY under what we've got.
There were 199 'unique' visitors. Those of us that connect from multiple locations count as 2 (or more) though. There were a total of 1670 visits and 50775 page views with 143767 hits.

March was the heaviest month this year in terms of bandwidth usage. We -almost- broke the 1GB transfer barrier. March 24th seems to be the day that had the highest usage at 127.56 MB of transfer. The most actual hits in that month were on the 14th though, at 2786 hits. The usage graph for time-of-day starts low in the 3-4am bracket and smoothly scales up until about 7pm when it starts to turn back down again. Saturday and Sunday were low usage days with Tuesday and Thursday being higher than the others, if only slightly. There was a surprising amount of activity originating from the Netherlands, second only to the US. Third place was Israel with the others all filling further behind somewhere. "Visit duration" (I'm not sure how it is measured) was mostly 15% 30s-2m another 15% of 1h+ and the rest falling into other time brackets somewhere (none higher than 9.4%). The index page of the wiki got more hits than anything else, since almost everything you see on the wiki is fed through the index page and lots of bots surf it. "viewtopic.php" was second place - that's the page that processes a forum post. With the main index page coming in at 3rd. Windows predictably dominated web traffic at 87.3% with Mac making up another 11.3% and the rest being either unknown or some flavor of linux. Somewhat shockingly, to me, is that 67.2% of traffic was from an IE browser with only 16.6% from Firefox and another 10.9% from Safari. We're apparently getting a number of hits on the wiki because of the Wyld Mutation page I put up. We gt hits in from Google a combined total of 21 times for the words 'mutations' 'wyld' and 'exalted'.

Nothing really sticks out about April. Usage was at its lowest, and so most of the numbers are fairly unimpressive. April 18 was the low point for the month with just 848 hits and 9.07MB of transfer used. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were the high usage days. And the time-of-day graph looks about the same for every month, so I won't repeat it again. US and Netherlands are still the two primary usage sites with Russia and Germany far behind (but close to each other) in 3rd and 4th. Most of the rest is consistent with March, with the interesting note that one of the Top 25 search keywords was 'crabdar' with 1 search (there aren't very many, the most was 'exalted' with 6).

May doesn't have much else of interest either as far as big bandwidth numbers, though its low is even lower than April at 7.6MB of transfer on May 12. Overall usage was higher than April, though. Friday was the clear winner for day of the week traffic. With the Netherlands and the US out in the lead for bandwidth, Russia was apparently unsatisfied with April and more than quadruples traffic to nearly 5000 hits (the US leads with almost 30K hits). Most of the rest of the numbers are pedestrian with the interesting note that we got a hit from a search engine for the phrase "godzilla vs voltron".

June is looking to be a higher traffic month. There's a noticeable spike in hits last night (the 17th), probably because we were all on Skype and had LostKnights on the mind. Usage numbers for the 17th are about triple the numbers for most other days. As a result, Wednesday pulled ahead for hits, but Monday is in the lead for bandwidth usage. The US dominates traffic this month with the Netherlands still in second, but much further behind. Russia and Germany are neck in neck with Romania and "Antigua and Barbuda" (possibly Gideon? Where the hell is Antigua, I don't feel like looking it up). Googlebot has humped our server 2752 times this month and used 84.38MB of bandwidth doing so. I haven't mentioned it since March, but browser traffic usage has changed. Firefox is now at 37.1% with IE at 30.3% and Safari at 24.6%. Chrome is a distant fourth at 4.3% Search results don't really have anything entertaining. I guess "endless tower rules" got a hit.

antigua and barbude is a country not far from here, bout an hour by plane. I have often times been told by various IP detecting websites that I'm in antigua. Chris read a book about antigua, or wrote a paper on it, or both. I went there some time ago to drink all their booze and get "krunk". Also, AUA is there, which is where Ross students go when they die.
