NOTE: Permission was granted to The Rubicon Foundation, Inc and this paper should NOT be added to your own web site. Violation of this "trust" will make it harder for us to deal with this and other publishers going forward. Also, PLEASE use the database link (above) and not link directly to any pdf in our system. This has been eating quite a bit of bandwidth and is now making a difference given the traffic we receive. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the warning about the links, Gene. I may have been guilty of linking directly to the pdf in the past :(

What a wonderful thing, that the Repository is getting that much traffic, though! Somebody is going to the source material for answers . . .

I am not sure you have. I usually ask mods to correct links when I see them. It has been the boards I am not active on (usually in other countries) that have been eating the bandwidth. It would not be a very big deal but it slows my internet speed down so it takes longer to add new stuff. Of course I also get a hard time from my wife when she is trying to see which OR she is in the next day.

It's not all source material that is getting the traffic. The reviews and summary reports from the SPUMS Journal have brought a ton of interest. You are right though in that we have seen the largest jump in traffic from source references provided in wikipedia. The DCS article references send us more traffic than almost any other method of telling people what is available by itself.

Thanks again for all the support guys!
