Interesting

So for shits and giggles a week or so ago I went to Alexa and looked up the stats for 8ch. Pic related, it is the traffic graph. Note the steady decline until late February where there is a dip and then a huge steady increase in traffic to the current point in time.
I thought that to be a result of the 4chan exodus, so I went and checked 4chan's stats expecting to see a decrease corresponding to the increase here. But no, their graph is virtually identical to ours…steady decline followed by a dip and huge increase at the end of Feb. Same for reddit. Same for all the "alternative" social media sites. I then figured that it must be a reconfiguration of Alexa's algorithms, and that all social media sites experienced the same thing. So I checked mainstream social media sites. Nope…all normal looking. So I went poking around trying to find a pattern for a few days. I came up empty-handed until this morning when I found one other site that had the exact same graph pattern occurring on the exact same dates….that site is fbi.gov.

I do not claim to know what that means, if anything. For all I know it is just a very strange coincidence. It is interesting though…just one month into a new and unpopular government administration and the same increase in website activity occurs at all the alternative social media sites as well as the FBI at the exact same time? Statistically that is very interesting indeed. It does make one question whether what we have assumed has been an influx of 4chan and reddit has actually been what it appears.

if that was the Holla Forums stock price, Jim would be a happy camper

You don't think the Feds cut him a sweet deal when they installed him as site owner?

It's simple really: Everyone was trying to become a normalfag, got crashed and burned on Valentine's and came crawling back home. The real question is why do a lot of Finns come here?

You might be on to something here, OP. You think it might be spiders?

The FBI has a huge base in Finland.
I always assumed it was to help ward off the Russians, but……..

Alexa graphs are inverted because they are incompetent, look at the numbers to the left and you will see there has been a decrease in traffic.

we are the meme master race

At last, I truly see

OP here.
Like I said, I have no idea what it is, if anything. It is just mathematically a pretty substantial anomaly.

OP here…why the hell didn't I ever notice that????
THx user!

We are still left with the anomaly of the parallel graphs at all these sites.

I don't mind getting culturally enriched if it's by Finns.

Doesn't Alexa use google-analytics? If so, then a lot of users are using adblock or ghostery, thus skewing those results.

That's the global rank chart

Lower number = More users

True, but that is the case across all sites. Meaning that the parallel between the sites still exists, and OP's observation is still a valid enigma.

Yes, this has been pointed out.>>7050025

OP here.
Yes, the numbers are skewed, but it isn't the numbers that I was interested in. It was that the graphs indicating increase and decrease in traffic were virtually identical at all the alternative social media websites as well as at the fbi.gov site, but nowhere else that I found. The nubers themselves are irrelevant, the direction of the traffic (increase or decrease) is irrelevant as well. What is relevant is that the activity over the exact same time periods is virtually identical.

==THIS IS THE SAME OP AS
==

That user is saying that traffic has decreased, when it's actually increasing.

That line is way too steady. Is this a bot infestation?

I also thought about webcrawlers (spiders) or a different kind of bot

So, is that the ranking or the amount of traffic?

CONSIDERING 70%+ OF US USE VPN, NO IT'S NOT

That doesn't answer the question at all.

...

Vpn is for cucks and niggers

This, only faggots are afraid of the FBI.

You must be new here.

Yes I agree fellow user. Why use a VPN when you have nothing to hide!

You must be afraid then.
Post more Locon

I only use a VPN when I blatantly search for illegal child pornography, commonly referred to as 'CP' on the dark web on illegal websites.
Just to clarify; I ONLY use a VPN when I engage in illegal online activity, as specified under section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, which defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor.

havent read past OP's post but that graph dont look right bro.

does that graph say we went from 10,000 to 6,000? thas no good bro

did 4,000 pedophiles make their own board or something?

not pedo, but im gonna miss those baby fuckers =[

Now that I think about it, it was probably because of some pedo boards getting shut down that this happened. Initially they started spamming the shit out of other boards reducing the amount of people who would regularly post, eventually they settled down and spam in regular intervals now.

Afraid? We're practically rivals, faggot.

t. fbi

fugggg :DDDDDDDD

It was the election. People went to fbi website presumably because of Clinton / trump investigation, and to reddit and chans because of our supposed involvement in the chans.

Funny enough, you are probably telling the truth.
You really should stop before you hurt your family, your career and your reputation user.
