So where are all the new users coming from?

Over the past two weeks I've noticed that we've gotten a lot more new- active- users.
This is awesome, obviously, but I have to admit I'm curious where the sudden surge came from. Did someone go and advertise TFF somewhere? Release a new story?
Any new newbs, feel free to chime in- or even just introduce yourselves.

Edit: Maybe someone was digging through old fanfics and tried finding where the TFF references came from. Plausible as some people are still registering in the old site when I checked yesterday..

I just broke 300 referrals like yesterday.

Those are probably because the link I put in my ffnet profile to join the forum, includes the "referred by" tag on the hyperlink.



EDIT:
I went to the members list and sorted by referral count and copypastaed into excel to do a little math.

I don't have as many referrals as everyone else put together but it's close ("everyone else" = 353, if I've counted right).

Panic is such a blase thing. Hereabouts we simply resort to atmospheric cleansing.

Just for lulz, when I set up nTFF, I should have given everyone a referral link :p

That would be what, like 9k+ referrals haha

Hey, daniel may be able to brag about referring the most new users... but you accomplished something I thought was impossible by referring the most old users. That will be a much harder record to beat.

I came here after searching for an FF forum through Google. I have visited the site before but each time it was locked to guests and I left. I'll be honest, I don't know why I joined now LOL! (don't mean that in a rude way!)

Well, I joined because I realized Daneel Rush was holding out on the readers on FF.net and looked up Naruto Genkyouien's next chapter (27, maybe?). Unfortunately for me, he had finished that chapter many months before, so I necro'd the thread without realizing.

All of that happened two years ago or so, though.

Pony writing doesn't lure very many new refs for me. I think I've had like, 5 in the last year?

ACTUAL. YEARS. :flameon: :flameon: :flameon: :flameon:

But seriously the real issue is the emails since without an email tied to the account they can't reset passwords.

Ever hopeful. Been distracted with new job, 2 new computer changes, a trip to Japan, discovered translated light novels and Nutaku game site.

I advert the forum on my fanfiction.net profile- which... well... I mean- a few of my stories have way more views than they deserve- so?
