FA's PR disaster causes Weasyl traffic to increase ~800%
« on: January 22, 2014, 02:02:20 am »


Peak was ~600 users online a week ago. Yesterday it peaked at about 4k users online. Over 15k users have logged on in the last 24 hours.

Wow.

I wonder if weasyl has reached tipping point with this. The surge will probably die down in a couple of days, but if Weasyl doesn't flatline from it...

The only way Weasyl reaches peak with this is if FA shuts up, sits down, codes, and produces something of value.  While doing that, they simultaneously fire all their bad people, Dragoneer takes a supervisory / ownership role and relinquishes day to day moderation control, and Sciggles is removed from her power.  An infrastructure is put into  place that allows for the fair appeal of power hungry and attention starved moderators and admins, and  those mods and admins are held accountable for their overzealous nepotism.

If all of that happens at once, FA MAY become transparent and stable enough to stem the flow.. but the flow outbound is an eventuality in the current state.
