    Some stats on the polls, Votes per day and Comments per day going back for the last 20 SD polls. This is I reckon a slightly better proxy than the article comment count (subject to usual caveats, error factors etc):

    Jan & Feb definitely lower tho this could be to do with folk just getting fed up rather than the slashcott which only has one data point. I'm sure it is easy enough to extend this but a glance shows that the Votes per Day 12+ months ago was considerably higher.

    So the slashcott was about equal to their drop during the Christmas-New Years break. That's pretty amazing. I was expecting only a handful of people to actually go through with it.

      I fully did the slashcott -- I didn't realize what an addict I was till I woke up, checked my instinct to click the bookmark in my toolbar, and then focused on the sites I check second. It was actually a hard week -- I didn't realize how many times I went to /. every day for a small break until I couldn't go there, and left me pretty frustrated all week.

      Managed to do it myself. Typed it out on the address bar and hit enter just once, but closed it before anything loaded. And today I typed in "altslashdot" to see the progress here... still haven't loaded the old site yet.
