Statistical analysis and PowerPoint are arts, too, you know!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1423525/ <- First non-test submission after FA came back

To calculate this, I simply added to/subtracted from the ID in the URL, and checked the timestamps.

The graph should explain it all. Before FA went down, there were just under 100 submissions per hour. Now that we've been waiting five weeks for the site to come back, submissions are coming in at the rate of over 600 per hour!

To give you an idea of how much that is, at 600+ submissions per hour, FA will hit 2,000,000 by September 13th if it's sustained.

While this spike isn't surprising, it does stand as a testament to how well the new hardware is handling the demand.

Just thought somebody might find this interesting. If you like it, tell your friends! I might do another graph like this in a week or two to see if things cool off by then.
