Usually, August is a sleepy month for YWS. This year, however, things were quite different. Nearly every record across the board was broken. So lets take a look:

Total Posts: 16,178
Total Topics: 1,706
New Users: 415
Profile Comments: 22,463

Total Reviews: 5,782 (new record)
Reviews greater than 500 characters: 5,280 (new record)
Reviews > 1000: 2,395 (second most)
All literary comments: 6,827 (new record)
Total literary works: 1,426 (new record)
Review Ratio: 4.05

Reviews by Day:

Pageviews: 1,062,718 (new record)
Unique Visitors: 15,565

Top 10 Cities:

Excluding not set, Ottawa would be number 10. Additionally, I'm pretty confident that most of those "not set" are actually from London. "Not set" didn't show up in the top 10 until a few months ago, and London began dropping in the results at the exact same time. So London is probably the number 1 city.


Top 10 Countries:

Excluding not set, Puerto Rico would be number 10. If you include Puerto Rico as an American territory, then South Africa would be number 10.

I'm not sure which makes me happier--the 4.05 review ratio or the wizard's hat that is the review day spike.

Hm, Sugar Land -- is this anywhere near Candy Land, perchance? :D

psychopaths and mystery writers.

Apparently Sugar Land is a city in Texas with a huge number of YWSers for a relatively small population.

...I'm moving there.

Anyway! Wow, August was amazing!

If I were to have a super power, it would be to time-travel, so that I could turn back time, and erase your very existence.
