It seems that we have a steadily growing number of visits recently. At this site I was able to generate a plot of the traffic over time:

I am interested in the explanation of this graph. First of all, how reliable is this data? And second, what might be a reason for the increased traffic?

• the start of the winter term in most universities?
• did we just reached the critical mass?

Can we learn something from this?
