Myr has statistics out the yazoo about the site, its readers, writers, commenters and supporters and has shared them in many ways and several times. To me, it's still an elusive question to account for the ebb and flow of visitors and readers. Certainly some authors and their stories are big drivers. However, it's the welcoming community that is the reason I visit regularly. While I haven't been reading stories on site as much lately, that is due to my own personal circumstances and grief.
