    I noticed a big drop in signups over the weekend. I was getting 350 a day and growing then saturday it went down to 250 and sunday got 200. Is that normal on a big weekend like easter? Any of you have simalar effects up or down?

    It is very normal. Remember Easter is rather a major holiday - many families travel to their relatives, thus seating less at the computer :)
    However, if you are concerned, you should keep watching your site this week. There is a chance your ranking has decreased or something...

    My sales were way down over this weekend, but today it looks like it is back to normal.

    Its normal for traffic to drop during the holidays. July 4th, thanksgiving, christmas and new years are my worst times.

    Over the easter holiday, my page average views dropped by about 500,000

    Give it a few days and traffic should return to normal.

    i'm getting about 11 an hour to sign up nice its slowly going up. My active members have increased. I was getting 5-10 online all the time every 15 minuntes before the holiday stats. now i'm getting 10-15 steady throught the day and more post who knows mabey they missed it lol I'm just happy more and more sign up. Tough to start a forum these days. Im happy with my progress only been doing seo for about two months on it. Cant waite till i get around 500,000 views that will be nice. Good luck to you all hope your business do well.
