Anthropik by the Numbers
by Jason GodeskyThis is post #300. At this writing, there have been 5,732 comments made, or 19.1 comments per post, on average, but many of the older articles were archived from earlier versions of the site, and thus have none of the (sometimes quite long) discussions they sparked. The Anthropik Network was reincarnated in its current form (see “The Dream That Was Anthropik“) 1 February 2005. Since moving to the new server in June 2005, according to Webstats, we’ve had 369,894 unique visits. According to Yahoo’s ad tracking, we had 100,000 visitors in the first 60 days of 2006. Technorati lists 392 links to the Anthropik Network, from 140 sites, giving us a rank of 10,970, out of the 33.4 million sites and 2.2 billion links Technorati tracks. The Tribe of Anthropik has four full members, and two pending.
Still think you are a fringe of a fringe?

Hell yes. That we’ve done well for ourselves doesn’t change the fact that this site is still seen by something like 0.00001% of the internet’s population, which is itself a minority of the human population. I might be proud of our accomplishments, but that doesn’t mean I’ve lost all sense of perspective here. When we get to merely “fringe” level, I’ll be able to quit my day job.

Just goes to show how enormous this civilization has become.
The collapse of the monster of the size of our civilization will be unprecedented

As far as fringe, I’m getting the feeling that a very significant part of the mainstream is getting a pretty good idea that we are imminently facing something akin to a collapse of civilization; what’s fringey is being willing to talk about it.
Jason, et al., you run a wonderful site and I’m glad to see some great numbers there.

Thanks, Ryvr. I think what’s really fringey is having any idea what to do about it.
