    I'd say no because a lot of the stuff in it isn't complete.

    So I subscribed a couple days ago. And I'm liking what I'm seeing on the list so far.

    I'm actually confused on that now...because on the Members List page (where I got my numbers) it shows a lower number than the homepage (where Teresoul got his numbers)....what gives, Raven ?

    Regardless, them bishes need to join up.

    Gerk... Well... It's not my best work, although I personally like some of what I did in chapter two - I think it's kind of like my first real foray into HP parody (which remember, this is from four years ago). I never continued it because it kind of just petered out on me. Do I want it gone? Not especially, but I wouldn't really have a problem if it was voted out. It is an old story, after all, and standards weren't as high back then. If this was a recent story, I'd say it doesn't meet standards - considering its age, I'm not sure.

    Not really an answer to this question, but when when you said yesterday it was at 5791, the front page said 6296, and I checked only minutes after you posted that number. now the front page says 6301, so really we've only gained 5 members in that 12+ hour time frame if that number can be trusted (to be updated in real time).

    I went ahead and slapped a link on my ff.net page. It may not get seen at all, since I haven't written any stories, but anyone who's looking at my profile for my favorites will see it, I guess.

    This really is a good idea that most people should be doing, authors in particular. Frequent reviewers as well. Can't take that much effort to just toss a link to the C2 and a basic description at the top of your ff.net profile. After looking at how many hits certain Authors profile pages get in the ff.net stats thread, well - that's a lot of potential advertising.

    We have not had that many new users. We had 9 users yesterday and 4 today. I don't believe banned users count.

    For anyone who's still interested. When FFNet gets its shit together, we'll be in the top 20.

    Also, for those doubting the effectiveness of C2s:

    C2 Hits in 3 Days:

    For the month of 2010-08, there have been a total of 6,464 Hits and 1,930 Visitors to all of your communites.

    My Profile Hits This Month (2 weeks in)
    August Stats: For the month of 2010-08, there have been a total of 1,449 Hits and 1,142 Visitors to your Profile page.

    My Profile Hits Last Month (4 weeks)
    July Stats: For the month of 2010-07, there have been a total of 2,020 Hits and 1,636 Visitors to your Profile page.

    My Story Hits This Month (2 weeks in)
    August Stats: For the month of 2010-08, there have been a total of 7,845 Hits and 4,263 Visitors to all of your stories.

    My Story Hits Last Month (4 weeks)
    July Stats: For the month of 2010-07, there have been a total of 9,269 Hits and 4,911 Visitors to all of your stories.

    As you can see at the half way point of this month, I've almost received as many hits as I did for the full month in July. I know for a fact my profile was in the 900 region before the C2 was started, so I've seen a major increase there.

    It'd be nice to know how you guys are doing.

    Kudos to you NMB for the hard work.

    When I get some time on the weekend, I'll pimp the C2 in my FF profile page. Also whenever I happen to update Sitra Ahra.

    Now we just need to get in the top 15 (and knock off Harry and Draco's Love Shack).

    It's a little hard to tell just yet, but the last days appear higher than the mean, with around 10-20% more hits to stories and profile than before the C2.

    I'd be hard pressed to call it a trend just yet, since my daily counts can vary by quite a lot. This month, I have as low as 251 story hits one day and 632 hits just four days later (both before the C2). The 2 days after listing in the C2 are 589 and 574 story hits/day. Profile hits are similar.

    As someone who hasn't updated in a long time, I can spot an instant trend with about 3x the number of hits in the last couple of days compared to a very static time prior.

    No increased traffic here, but that could be because my stories aren't in the c2 :)
