So at this rate, we should see somewhere around 36-37 million on the counter before the season starts

Nothing is done by accident...

Its all just inevitability...

And me visiting the site 3-5 times a day since february LOL

CONGRATS!!!!!

I reckon that this site gets roughly 10,000 hits per hour. Someone calculate how many hits we will get by the time season two starts.

Soggy_Doggy said...

There's no way of knowing when exactly the 20 millionth visit was (unless told be Seth or somthing) because while you on a page the couter ticks evenly based on an average calculation.
If you mark the number and refresh it'll jump up a lot higher than it'd look because when it loads again it'll grab the official number.
My theory based on observation anyway. :)

At this rate, the pageview count will soon accelerate to a new million mark every 2 days. Whether it slows or platues from there remains to be seen.

Wait, wait,wait... Ponies? I thought this was something COMPLETELY different. Oh wow, I'm dumb. Well, I guess I may as well stay anyway now.

starcat5 said...

Wait... You mean that counter in the corner ISN'T a timer, counting how many seconds have past since the site first went up? Seriously, this site is averaging one hit per second during Off Peak hours. Probably more during Peak hours, but since I'm usually asleep then, I can't verify.

The Most Evil Pony said...

Good eveining, ladies and gentlecolts.

It is a disaster. A total disaster. Today I again accidenatally got to this blog. Not counting the facts that I accidentally adopted pony-related alias amd read some exсellent stories about ponies. And now I'm (still accidentally) writing pointless comment about ponies.

Confound these ponies.

Stating the obvious, your

20 million people are infected with AWESOME

Flygon16 said...

Guys, I think my computer is infected. Every time I open my browser, it instantly goes to this weird site about My Little Pony. Any suggestions?

By the end of Season 2, that counter had better have a ninth digit.

Omatic said...

Yeah this site must be malware or something, because I keep on ending up here on a daily basis.

we reached 20 million people in 10 econds falt.

Guh, how the heck did I end up here? Curses! Now there are ponies everywhere. Guess I might as well grudgingly stay here and see what's going on. (yay).

Btw, good job everyone, and thanks so much to all the awesome ponies running this awesome site.

No 20million banner and comic =(?

We need to fix this...

Ewyndall said...

And non of this would be possible with our hopelessly insane yet unspeakably awesome EqD team.

Thank you Seth, Phoe, Cereal, Tek and anyone who works on the site :)

Also, it was said a million times by now, and will certainly be told another 19 million times in the future: Best - Fandom - EVER !!!

Gig said...

And you know what's the funniest? That the counter probably doesn't count the RSS views. We're probably above 22M right now. At least.

sotha said...

Does Seth have the data to create a scatterplot of the page views over EqD's site history? So that we can keep track of the site's trends?

I might start tracking it myself.

Strawberry Spaz said...

i accidentally made it my homepage...

M1Abrams said...

I honestly did not think, even for a second when I got into this community I would see ANY pony site roll over 20 Million page views. It just did not seem possible, but yet here we are. And friendship made it all happen everypony!

To the crew here at EQ making this all possible, thank you so much. Coming here has been the silver lining of my day for months!

...multiple people already made this joke? Okay, how about the "This site must have a virus because it keeps opening every time I get on the internet"? ...That one too?

Fine. I'll be unfunny. It's amazing that we hit 20mil <3. I'm still predicting, based on popular trend, that we'll be close to 40mil when Season 2 starts. And that will be super spectacular awesome.

Anonymous said...

20 million views...

I love how the page views exploded exponentially after the season ended. I guess when this is the easiest source for pony after the show, it's to be expected that all the fans come flocking here for the fanworks to tide the time.

In other words, HUZZAH!

My prediction is a little lower than the first listed; using the last six points (very linear, R squared of 0.997) and assuming(!) no changes I make it ~37.5 million by Oct 9th.

So I visit this site everyday by accident?
