I'd love to see a graph of signups during this time. The article says "not a whole lot of Delicious users switched to Pinboard"--is this true? I wonder how much the signup fee dissuades people.

- idlewords 16y agoThe signup graph pretty much tracks the traffic graph. We added about 9k users in three days. I'm writing up a technical blog post to go with the graphs, for people who are curious about what we did to keep the site up.
- ra 16y agoLooking forward to that.
- mwerty 16y agoI signed up but I'm wondering, how does it make sense for you to run the site with just a small one-time fee?
- idlewords 16y agoThe signup fee is there to put a brake on growth and offset the development and hardware costs of scaling the site when lots of new users arrive. Our bread and butter is the $25/year from archival accounts.
