Now we just need Colman to get his data again, and this time not excluding the "US" entries (even if they might not be accurate).

Oh, Wow...we really do need to do some community building on the European side of the big pond. These are great stats, DoDo. Thanks for doing this.

Note: US is default choice. (Some of your students chose it, too.)

On the other hand, most registered users were temporary visitors.

Migeru, have you seen this at all?

Anyway, some corrections/updates:

  • GB 64
  • AT 7
  • PL 3 ["PT 3" was doubled above due to a typo]

Altogether 384 users not registered as "US".
