and how are you determining unique users? your site does NOT employ a user
login for your sprite generator. by ip address? yeah, on my first site i was
pretty pumped that in short order i too had million hits. that is, until i
started resolving the ip address to a name only to find the bulk of them
were web crawlers and search engines doing a routine indexing of my site.
you'd do well to mention the analysis package you're using and/or
methodology you employ. you may just be getting a woody for now reason.
as for you sprite generator, i cannot mention how important it is that
*several* others have told you and showed you (by hacking your flash site
and posting your source code, i might add) how terrible inefficiently your
programming is. i suspect your code chokes your site more than the traffic.
you're just recognizing that the way you employ flash is not conducive to
scaling.
aside from the fact that you have to 'think real carefully' any time you are
about to do something, the way you program php or flash has NOTHING to do
with EITHER of them being deficient. hint, it ain't the tool you're using to
program...it's the loose nut on your keyboard.
finally, i'd sure be interested in this new version...just to see what you
consider 'stream-lined' and to see how far from the actual definition it is.
a separation measured in light-years, once again.
yours truly...and, you're happily being added back into my kill-file.
