I only noticed this today, but at some point within the last couple weeks, the percentage of YWSers from the United States has declined below 60% for the first time ever in YWS' 6+ year history. It's specifically 58.12% at the moment. This reflects not American decline (in absolute number terms, everything is going up), but rather very strong international growth as of late.

Here are the exact figures for the time period of February 5 to March 7, 2011:
United States - 58.12%
United Kindgom - 11.47%
Canada - 8.35%
Australia - 3.58%
New Zealand - 2.74%
Philippines - 2.17%
India - 1.46%
Other - 12.11%
Total Visits: 59,435

Compare that to precisely one year ago (February 5 to March 7, 2010):
United States - 64.60%
United Kingdom - 11.25%
Canada - 5.76%
Australia - 4.41%
New Zealand - 2.91%
Philippines - 0.97%
India - 0.97%
Other - 9.13%
Total Visits: 46,406

You can even see the increasing international nature of YWS in a comparison of the global maps:

By the way, in both of the maps above, the smallest dot equals about 50 visits. So every dot indicates at least 1 active YWSer.

I'd still love to know if I've yet to leave a mark on YWS from SoDak.
Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

There was a Russian member for a while, she left pretty quickly though. Highly possible it was her.
