                          And for the first time I now have enough statistics on active users to make graphs for them as well. I'm sure a certain doctor will be pleased

                          Graph 9: Active users (since 32k, plain)

                            Any suggestions for additional statistics, info, events, etc are always welcome. The final one:

                            Graph 10: Active users (since 32k, with major events)
