Which wasn't our point, the OP here misrepresented us. We wanted to explain how popular we were and we realised we had as much traffic as stackoverflow, so we used that as a traffic comparison, our point was not to compare servers. As you can see if you read through the linked topic, at no point did we compare ourselves to SO beyond traffic wise, the OP here is at fault :)



Why was your posted title on reddit then: "Minecraftwiki.net and minecraftforum.net now serve more traffic than Slashdot and Stackoverflow!" ? I just added a server count and php part which were both in the thread mentioned to signal previous false dichotomy. You guys shouldn't have posted a title like that then, you have compared yourself to SO and Slashdot, not me.


Yes, we compared our traffic levels, not our server count. The title of this post implies that we're saying "we have as much traffic as SO and they use more servers!" which wasn't the point. The point was Stackoverflow is a tangible comparison of traffic, not hardware. Anyway I replied to you above explaining, I misunderstood your intentions.

Your title made our servers and setup the focus, that wasn't the point at all.
