How then do you explain the timing of the posts? Was the search engine optimization software only running from 2pm until 5pm today?

Bacon,
Sean and I were actually discussing this earlier... where all the members were coming from. He was convinced they were from search engines but I am still skeptical until I can check the stats tomorrow.
I'm not on trial here, thank you.
Well I doubt it's the search optimization tool that was the main reason. It was definately the election that had to do with it.

I noticed the same thing. A whole lot of one-posters making quick little snippet comments and then not posting again.

Think about it: 60 new members on a very big day in politics (election day). You do not get that by spamming-you get that when lots of people look for "debate forums, or debate forum" on google...check it out (we're #1 and #2).
So it goes
If you'd like actual numbers, there were 68 registrations on the 8th, as opposed to about 4 on a typical day. About 2/3 made one post and the other third made either 0 or more than 1.
Traffic in general on the 8th was the highest in a while, at 10,500 pageviews and 700 visits.
OK, OK, I could be wrong...
