Jan 21, 2011 at 15:59 comment added Demian Kasier I feel like I've won the lotto. I never had thought that this question would gain 250+ views overnight. especially since I've asked it 10 days ago.

Jan 14, 2011 at 20:18 comment added Jin @AUS we already have the Famous Question gold badge.
Jan 14, 2011 at 10:39 comment added AUS can't you (stack staff) create a new badge for such a score ? (traffic jam maker?)
Jan 14, 2011 at 3:16 comment added random Mod Rapid answers of similar ramble kicked the whole question to CW at 15. @ivo
Jan 14, 2011 at 3:01 comment added Jin it was also tweeted by @Smashingmag, who has over 300k followers.
Jan 13, 2011 at 23:05 comment added Ivo Flipse Mod Perhaps @JeffAtwood can shine a light on what to do!
Jan 13, 2011 at 17:57 comment added Arjan I just figured that if, for some reason, the team does not want to show the statistics, then collecting some (late) view counts ourselves might not be too nice either. Deleted my answer; hoping for whatever @Ivo or the team can show — but really just out of curiosity.
Jan 13, 2011 at 16:54 comment added Ivo Flipse Mod Heej, my self-built computer also still has a floppy drive! But my upcoming upgrade to Sandy Bridge is going to kill it :-P @Arjan
Jan 13, 2011 at 16:43 comment added Ivo Flipse Mod I don't know if I can publish those, but I'll get back to you if I do @Arjan And when will you ever learn to use chat?
Jan 13, 2011 at 16:29 comment added Arjan Ah, @Ivo, any chance you know of some figures, and know if you can publish those?
Jan 13, 2011 at 16:24 comment added Ivo Flipse Mod Yes @Arjan, they are correct, especially Reddit caused a very large peak in the traffic yesterday
Jan 13, 2011 at 15:00 answer added Yi Jiang timeline score: 13
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:50 comment added Arjan Or ask Jeff to tweet about a random other question, @Reg :-)
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:38 comment added RegDwight Hmm, I think I should ask the question "What are the letters A and B used for" over at English Language and Usage, where the most popular question ever hasn't even reached 5,000 views. Brb.
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:24 comment added Arjan @JP19, this very question has been viewed 43 times now. No, that does not account for over 1,000 new views in 30 minutes.
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:22 comment added JP19 @Arjan: Your question might just add significantly to the view count of that one.
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:09 comment added Arjan Wow, viewed 222,686 times only 15 minutes later. It's just starting! Love to see some statistics later on! Hopefully the team can add some well-paying advertising in time!
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:07 comment added Arjan @Grace, more fun facts: it was actually an off topic question on Stack Overflow first! Bravo for migration too!
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:06 comment added Yi Jiang I still think it's slightly ridiculous - only 2 of the 50 top votes questions on SO have had more than that amount of views, and most were only accumulated over two years: stackoverflow.com/questions?sort=votes
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:04 comment added Jeff Mercado Hah I remember seeing that question just when it had ~200 views... my how it has grown. Makes my case about having external links to crazy questions even stronger. :)
Jan 13, 2011 at 14:03 answer added badp timeline score: 9
Jan 13, 2011 at 13:59 comment added Grace Note StaffMod While... amusing, to put it lightly... that question does have one real good thing going for it as far as being a popular and highly viewed question - it's actually a question. So bravo enough for that.
Jan 13, 2011 at 13:56 comment added Arjan Okay, then we need more questions like that. Maybe I should change this question into "More ideas for questions like this?", to keep Super User alive!
Jan 13, 2011 at 13:54 comment added Grace Note StaffMod Given which question you're showing, how it was linked on several places including a tweet from Jeff... yes, that looks about right.
