As I've said elsewhere, the person who titled this is a silly person, they misrepresented what we said. Wiki + Forum = 60m page views a month, so combined we serve the same amount of traffic as you, as per this tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/spolsky/status/27244766467 http://twitter.com/#!/spolsky/status/27244766467 We weren't challenging you or anything, I just noticed that tweet (it was mentioned here) and I thought "hey we're doing the same, we can use them as an example of how big we are!". I'm just a dumb kid who has never had anything he created this successful before and being able to say "We're as big as stackoverflow" is crazy.

  As I've said elsewhere, the person who titled this is a silly person, they misrepresented what we said. Yes, you've said that several times. Intention was two-part. One, to show how previous post by spolsky was false dichotomy, and second to point out to your success - which almost everyone here understood as such. However, your original post on reddit (well your sysadmin) was titled: "Minecraftwiki.net and minecraftforum.net now serve more traffic than Slashdot and Stackoverflow" - so you can't blame that part on me, just the server count and php part.

    I'm not good at the whole English thing (even though it's my only language). I didn't mean to imply you were at fault, just that your title didn't represent what was actually happening. Also I didn't realise that you'd posted a comment here pointing out it was supposed to be a joke, I'm used to reddit where it points out that a comment is by the submitter. Poor wording and a mistake on my part, sorry! :-)
