I spoke with Alan Bellows from 'Damn Interesting'[0] on Reddit after his site hit the front page via a TIL post and he revealed a little about the traffic load.[1]
It was very interesting to see and was quite a lot of traffic for sure.
Bear in mind that the screenshot he posted is for concurrent visitors too.
I had no expectation of encountering my own name in this context. If there is a German word to describe the thing my neurons just did, I'll bet it has a lot of umlauts.
Ha! Sorry! I know the feeling too, there's a guy who keeps a mighty big interest in a website I run and I stumbled on his catalogue of its/my goings on.
Hopefully this doesn't reach that level of awkward and your info was really cool to see in that Reddit thread.
