just out of curiosity, how many hits does [boards.straightdope.com](http://boards.straightdope.com) receive each day? does “reload” count as a real hit?

Reload counts as a hit. I just tried it.

I don’t see any totaling of hits, but there is a total of posts on the main menu page.

You could get posts/day the hard (easy?) way. Check twice at the same time a day apart.

The last I heard from Ed Zotti and the tech staff (in October?) was about 1 million page loads/month. I can’t seem to find that e-mail at just this moment, but I believe about 80% of those page loads were from the message board.
