how many users are we up to?

• pg 17y ago
  11492 accounts, many of them inactive of course. There are more users than that, because many users lurk for a while before creating accounts. We now get around 45k unique visitors on weekdays.

        It's still that one. We were starting to spend too much time gcing once everything got lazily loaded, but a few days ago I started throwing stuff out of memory and now it looks like we've got performance back into the tolerable range. http://hnstatus.net/ http://hnstatus.net/

          One day, I will be able to load my saved items...

            Wow, no kidding. And I'm certain items are missing from the beginning of the list. I know they're still saved somewhere, because I can't upmod those articles.
