2.6 million monthly users, which must include non-logged in lurkers
Makes sense, the 5/15/80 thing is normally about right for bigger comms (is that the right ratio, I forget), only a tiny number will submit stories, a larger number'll comment, the majority will just read. If you're only ever going to read, why would you want an account?
And if most readers don't have an account for most sites, I suspect the proportion of ONTD readers is even higher. Not that I make presumptions about their general style or anything...
Really not keen they just zapped the whole site for a few users, regardless of what the use it for, they could do that to a site like DW just as easily. Ah well, another host to add to the "don't use" list.
