:pop: or spies.... :O

Heh, which would mean we have something worth spying on!

What is the quote: You can judge a mod by the quality of the people spying on it? So I wonder who has been spying on us then?

I.e., on an average day during this month, we are visited by almost 1,600 people. Don't chalk *all* that up Silgrad Tower's merit - the hosted sites and forums do their part, and it's impossible to tell the difference in the stats.

So far during the month of March 2006:

? It's a good thing we have unlimited bandwidth, because so far during March 2006 we've used 501 gigabytes of it. The month of February closed with a meagre 486 gigabytes of bandwidth.

? Kalikut still has the largest factual hosted website, weighing in at 53.2mb content. Silgrad itself takes up 737mb of actual data storage space.

? Having a hosted site automatically enables you to use a POP3 + web-based email account that goes with the subdomain, but so far ESMN is the only hosted site to have used that feature at all. It might be worth noting that we have 2 gigabytes of space for emails, which can't be used for anything else, and using the email system doesn't affect the allocated data storage to your site.

? 2998 people have downloaded our Morrowind mod from our website (not counting other places its hosted). 291 people have downloaded noremorse's beautiful trailer for the same mod.

Hosted sites' files:
725 for "MoonlightMono.mp3"
580 for "Swords and Staves 1.zip"
271 for "ChimerOfLight_V2_comp.7z"
210 for "abotWaterLife1.8.zip"
198 for "movie2.7z"
135 for "Labria.exe"
124 for "LichCraft2.ace"
NOTE that the list *isn't* a toplist of which files are most popular to download; it's the files that have used the most bandwidth. The numbers are # of people who have downloaded though.

Most popular search terms across the silgrad.com network are right now:

What's MoonlightMono.mp3? Is that someone's background music or something? I've checked out all the awesome new musicians here and don't remember coming across that one. ?(

:eek: That should be going down as I put some of my mods on other sites. I feel like I'm constantly cleaning out my folders.

hrug: If someone has an allocation of, say, 75mb then it doesn't really matter if there's 1 megabyte or 70 megabytes there; no-one else can use the unused allocated space. Rather, if someone *doesn't* use much of the space they're allocated that indicates to me they have too much space - but I'm not likely to check for that again in 6 months - 1 year or so. So, no worries. I hope you enjoy the hosting and are happy here

[kalikut]

I understand what you're saying. I just try not to get too close to my limit, so that I will have some freedom to upload stuff for temporary purposes too.

:lmao: That's what I like to see, a happy bunny. Esp when it carries a bloodstained knife everywhere it goes! ? see Noremorse 'everybody's talkin 'bout you!'

Wow, has it really been half a year since my last report? Dang... Well, better late than never. Time for another one.

[title]Monthly Statistics[/title]

As usual, the most interesting number is the daily average of unique visitors; the leftmost of the yellow columns in the second picture above. This shows the median of how many different persons come to us ("us" as in silgrad.com) on any given day. The all-time record is April 2006, which of course coincided with the time when general gamer interest in Oblivion peaked. But as you can see from the report, the current month is almost as strong as April was, which is great news. It's highly possible we'll beat the old record - just gotta get 90 or so more people a day for that to happen.

Hits are a notoriously unreliable way of measuring popularity. For example, during September we've gotten 220 181 hits from - Google. Google alone stands for over six percent of the total number of hits.

[title]Daily Statistics for Sep 2006[/title]

The next reports might be interesting as well. The yellow column shows how many people came to silgrad.com on each day during September 2006. If you engaged in advertising on any of these days you might see an effect, but if you don't then also keep in mind there are many other variables that affect the day-to-day numbers. For one, the many hosted websites on silgrad.com always have an effect.

Yesterday was a great one. 3392 people came here over the course of that day, our best so far during this month.
