We’re now using a rolling 30-day count for number of different commenters. As of this post, it’s at 75. We’ve been averaging 60-80 since March, 2009. 

PageRank

Our Google PageRank value is 5 out of a possible 10 points according to PRChecker. (PageRank uses a base-10 logarithmic scale, same as the Richter scale. So a site with a PageRank of 5 has approximately ten times the traffic of a site with a PageRank of  4.)
