    Just wondering how many of the page impressions Boards.ie gets comes from the usual stalkers here on AH, who lie in wait pressing F5 like lunatics waiting for a new thread to appear, so that they can get in with the page one witty reply.

    In fact I can predict right now it will be ...

    I think AH constitutes about 8-9% of the page views of the site as a whole so its quite a big part of the site, on a par with the Motors forums (which summed together probably approach AH).
