I believe a .org would be most appropriate here.

Thinking about http://opendap.org/node/305 for context.

Hi Mr. Cohen (?). Thanks for taking the time to make this publicly available.
Dr. Cohen! But I don't care about titles. Thanks for posting about it! Do you know a hacker news post launched the site in 2014? I was chatting about it at an event in Boston and someone posted it on here and it went crazy. The machines we had hosting data had their 20Mbps connections maxed out for weeks. Now we are prepared and it's just another day!

Here is one of the plots from 2014: https://i.imgur.com/Ecr44AZ.png

Woah! That screengrab is a mess at that tail end- massive traffic, not to mention that this went on for weeks. Regardless, this is an amazingly useful tool that a n00b like myself finds useful(going forward). Thank you, Daktari (Swahili for "doctor").
