Wow. So...many...numbers...:shock:

Nate, you're amazing.

And USA ftw! Philippines, too; I should so get my cousin to join. I didn't realize how international YWS was!

Hmm, pretty sure I've spoken to people from every one of those countries. At least spoken to. ^_^

And Yay Canada! ^_^ Next YWS Olympics, we should have our own team.

Damn! South Africa never made it. Well, I guess we are just a little country on the edge of Deep Dark Africa.

South Africa was number 13 in January, although it has since risen to number 12. Most of the visits are from all over the Johannesburg area, but there's also a large number from Durban as well.

Ah, Singapore and India! Asian countries!
Unfortunately, I think there're about 4 Malaysian members, probably only 1 (me) active. So it isn't a surprise that we didn't get it.
Got YWS?

Kudos to Nate for compiling all these numbers for us. It's interesting to look at, and probably takes some work. :)
How am I not myself?

LilyJamey ->> Malaysia ranks in the top 20 at number 17, and Indonesia just barely missed the top 10 by just one visit. In Malaysia, it looks like there are a quite a few YWSers spread out across mostly Kuala Lumpur. But there's some active members in other cities as well. In Indonesia, it's pretty much just the Jakarta area. I've attached a map below of where YWSers come from in Malaysia.


Clo ->> It used to take a lot of time, but I created some programs about a year ago that do it all for me now. And for the map data, I use google analytics. Very nifty.

Yay! I'm from Johannesburg. :) Watch out, us Africans are coming to take over the world! Okay, well maybe not the world, but definitely a small portion of YWS. :)

You spelt Adelaide wrong. Wait, Adelaide made the list? WTF? Must of been writing to distract from how horrible the water tastes...

Hehe, the fact that I log in daily for a substantial amount of time must have contributed to seeing Singapore's name on that list ;)

Ducati ->> Haha, sorry about that. In any case, Adelaide has almost always been in the top 10 or 20 cities. What's surprising is that Melbourne & Perth have dropped from being in the top 10/20 to numbers 40 and 41 respectively. It's not because we have fewer members from those places than before, but because we have more members from other places.

Below is a map of Australia according to YWS.

Do you have any stats for Luxembourg? When I'm 21 I'm immigrating there ASAP. =)
