Something I have noticed recently is the number of people browsing Amiga.org at any time. The numbers do seem to have risen compared to say....this time last year.
I bet most of it is due to zombie drones.. Notice how most of them are non members. I dont think the online members have risen since last years.
EDIT: You are right, there are indeed more members surfing this year than at around the same time last year..
I have a feeling we got some new members from other portals..
