good evening bbs community and especially to my dear friend ferdinand !

did you ever wonder what is the actual growth of the bbs network? well, i did and i opted to use data from similarweb.com (if you have any suggestion about a better source of data or another method of analysis please let me know in the comments). 

unfortunately, the total visits peaked in january 2022 with 1.2m total visitors. in february we managed to only score 446.3k total visits, which is a decline of more than 60%!! personally i have been very surprised by this, because i did not feel like the engagement from the community dropped equally. 

apparently the top-countries are india, canada and marocco (all 15%) followed by the US with 8%. no european country is included in the top 5 countries, which was also quite suprising for me.

please let me know in the comments whether you are suprised by those statistics (i certainly was) and please also let me know if you have better data for a more precise analysis. thank you!
