I thought I would give it a couple of days to make sure that the 4th of July increase in usage was not just a once off due to interest in getting a payout. But the usage is just continuing to climb.

We have plenty of New Users (blue line)

Most importantly the Returning Users (orange line) is climbing, and Loyal Visitors (green lines below) or visitors that have returned more than 4 times is continuing to climb and is now at record daily levels.

These stats are measured from the web front end activity.
Pageviews and sessions per user are also at record levels.
The stats from the blockchain relating to account creations, posts, comments etc. show the same trends.
These can be viewed at:

Average Loyal users on site per day was about 650 before the 4th July....
It has now doubled to over 1300 per day
