    Has there been a slowdown in the traffic to DP the last couple months?

    I have noticed that there does not seem to be the same speed of replies to some threads etc.

    Perhaps is just because its the holiday season?

    Not only DP, but other forums like sitepoint has the same trends too.

    Can any mod provide us with some traffic stats just for interests sake?

    Question is now, is it beacuse of the time of year (xmas etc), or are there other reasons??

    As per the graph, the total number of posts seem to have peaked out in January 2008.....exactly in line with the topping out of Indian Stock markets like NSE...:eek:

    The graphs of both the DP and NSE Nifty look so much similar from January 2008 onwards.

    And the last 2 months have been particularly bad.

    I put it down to a few different factors personally
