Site increase

Is it covid-19 or something else that has octupled the number of users online. Just a month ago we were at 10 now almost 200. Does anyone have a graphic of daily users so we can see exactly when this spike happened and figure out if its maybe the developers making great choices with how the site is run or something else.

PS Can we get a 24h marathon tournament scheduled sometime soon with all these players online.

Practically all physical draughts events are cancelled due to this pandemic, so everything moves online. That has surely given a big boost to the amount of players. A clear growth was already visible over the past few months (no graph unfortunatly), but nothing like this. A couple of weeks ago and we were happy to reach 500 blitz players in the list lidraughts.org/stat/rating/distribution/blitz, or have 100 players online. We see multiples of that now.

Can't make any promises on a marathon, but we must have a 24h tournament at some point (with special trophies), I agree

Due to lockdown lidraughts are also attracting lichess players
Now chess players has also starting playing draughts
Though I suck in it

We, Dominican People, made de desition to inmigrate to this site about 30 days ago.. we are about 200-300 players, and wiil be more next weeks...

All are welcome, there is room for a lot more :)
