Spikes in the past were usually attributed to something real special being posted that day. Haven't seen anything like that today. Did I miss something? Anyone have any ideas as to why the spike?
@JEBIV @Troy
One thought I had with the increase in membership lately and the spike of users online is that maybe some people are looking for a more grounded place for kettle info, versus the facebook groups. Not everyone is built for facebook. That being said I am a member of many groups on facebook of which none hold my attention like our forum here. It's just easy to find info here, and other than a few hiccups you will not get berated for any question asked. Just a few thoughts while my company pays me to work!
Somebody probably mentioned wkc in a facebook post that blew up or something. Idk. I prefer forums over facebook/Instagram. And this is a super cool one.
Awesome.
We are pretty special. Just think, you are one of 1,504 people that logged from the entire world today. Pretty crazy if you think about it and today was a record.

I don't see anything obvious in the logs. Just "higher than average" traffic from google search.
Bots don't get logged.
Well this is a pretty cool place with awesome people! I look forward to every new find, new topic, and wild restore/project I see here.

Then that's pretty cool!
Hopefully some will come back, join and participate.
Nice! And this is my first check in today...I like that there's less BOOM here ;)
I'm not certain why I find that a bit annoying too.

What is the "Boom"?
Is that one of those books of faces things?

Yes, it is on FB. I find it kind of annoying. In that group, a fair number of people will have a post that starts or ends with BOOM.
BOOM! I just scored this yada, yada, yada, yada....

What the heck caused the spike in online viewers today? Another new record was set today at 3,768 online viewers @ 8:32 AM. That's more than double the last record of 1504 set three weeks ago on August 16.

That is crazy, very curious about that
Probably a bunch of newbs wanting to find out what brand of lighter fluid to use... ;-)
Did Post Malone mention WKC in a song? Maybe he made it famous just like he did with Ozzy Osborn. (Joking btw)

There was a Weber Kettle Club mention in a livestream/podcast that caused a brief spike in traffic

Any chance you know what podcast it was? Hopefully it is something like Grilling Podcast and not something along the lines of My Strange Addiction. Haha.

WKC is the place with little to no DRAMA.

I do, as it was me making the mention.
It wasn't a grilling related thing =D
Another new record was set for online users today. 3,797 users were all online at exactly 9:18:47 AM. The last record of 3,768 users online was set on September 8 of this year. Another Pod Cast?
@Troy
Wow, I missed that, I usually keep an eye on that, maybe they all donated a dollar to the club

That's a heck of a lot of people that didn't bother to post anything today.

I was kind of thinking the same thing! Now that the cold has come there doesn't seem to be as much going on.
And yet another record set on November 2. 4227 users were online at once @ 07:11:10 AM, November 2, 2019.
How many of the 4227 users registered more than a week ago?
How many of the 4227 have ever posted on WKC?
Almost any given time of day there are a minimum of 2 registered users signed in that have been members for a week (+/-) and never posted. The # goes up as the user # goes up.
