Everytime you click on a post, it registers as a hit. If you read a followup, then go back to reread the original post to see what the heck the followup is talking about, that's two hits. So 250 hits may not mean 250 unique readers. I'd say from overall numbers that there probably 100 to 150 readers on any given day lately.

But this is as much a gossip corner and a soap opera as anything. Anybody with a life wouldn't have time for the chip bopard <g>. I think hits to sites like cochips.com and chequers.com would say more about the size on the online community.
