And right before the ten-millionth question (kinda). You could probably find that with a different scaling.

All sites have the August 2013 spike.

Actually, that's wrong. The big ones do.

Not the littler ones.

It's on SO, Math, ELU, but not on Programmers.

But the overall number is high. So I dunno.
