   Congratulations! This second anniversary calls for nostalgic trivia:

   1. Which posts have gotten the most hits?

   2. Which posts have generated the liveliest threads?

   3. Do you have any favorite trolls/wacky comments?

   4. Have you ever gotten any hits from the DPRK?

   1. Which posts have gotten the most hits?

   Unfortunately the stats plug-in I use (BDP Referral Tracker) for keeping track of such stats on a daily and weekly basis must be purged ever few weeks as it bloats the SQL database and threatens to crash the site! But generally the most hits go along with the posts with the most comments, or anything directly related to North Korea and nukes when they crank up the brinksmanship machine.

   2. Which posts have generated the liveliest threads?

   The top three are;

   Virginia Tech Shooter South Korean; Cho Seung-Hui (84)

   The Coming East Asian Arms Race (43)
   [This is yet another post in which all comments did not make it in the export/import process from the Korea Liberator. The original post had 43 comments, 14 made it. The rest are posed in a single comment.]

   Japanese Fighters Thump Korean Martial Artists (41) (by James Na)

   Oddly enough, only one of those was really on topic for this site.

   3. Do you have any favorite trolls/wacky comments?

   My all-time favorite comment was made on this post about the 60 Minutes special on Charles Jenkins.

   4. Have you ever gotten any hits from the DPRK?

   I’ve never seen any “.kp” (North Korea’s internet country abbreviation) on this site, but since they usually obtain service via China, it’s hard to tell. The KCNA is hosted in Japan!

   In other stats;

   General:
   1,416 total posts
   5,607 total comments
   ~1,100-1,200 unique IP addresses per day
