    @NicolBolas: The 13th and 14th are weekends, and it's not an unresaonable pattern to note that traffic across the network sags on the weekends. Commented Oct 19, 2018 at 17:49

    It will be interesting to see if the quota of questions asked per day, currently at 4.2, will shrink in the coming week/s. Commented Oct 20, 2018 at 11:07
  • @mariloua I'd guess the effect on number of questions is relatively lower, but we will definitely be keeping an eye on the site stats. Commented Oct 20, 2018 at 11:22
  • Related to this, here is a query to check how many questions per Monday we usually get (this Monday isn't in it yet but, for now, 0 question have been asked). Commented Oct 22, 2018 at 13:58
  • (1) The effect on IPS is likely atypical - for a small site it had a lot of HNQs. (2) If the drop-off in views is due mainly to the loss of people looking at just the HNQs before leaving again, it's perhaps not to be much lamented. Counting questions asked, as @Mari-LouA suggests, or the number of new users signing up might be more telling. Commented Oct 24, 2018 at 12:02

    @Scortchi it's definitely worth taking a second look at the wider sitestats. The number of questions per day vary a lot more though, so it's better to wait a little while to gather more data. Commented Oct 24, 2018 at 12:19
  • Is it too soon to ask for an update? Commented Nov 1, 2018 at 8:06
  • @Mari-LouA not at all. I'll see if I can cook something up when I get home. Commented Nov 1, 2018 at 8:56

    If I've understood correctly, 17 42 40497 13698 0.338 refers to 17 October. Your stats only refer to the previous weeks (am I right?) What has happened since then, in the two weeks after IPS was "banned" from HNQ? My impression, from just looking at the number of questions posted on IPS, is that things have actually improved. The number of questions posted is higher but I have no idea about the number of views. To recap, are the stats in your answer updated, i.e 1 November, or not? Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 7:35
  • area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/92736/interpersonal-skills Now if only there was a way to get the stats from two weeks ago. Would there be any difference? Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 7:38

    @Mari-LouA the stats in the answer have not been updated. I did make a more in-depth post based on two weeks of data on IPS meta, which I have linked to in the top of this answer. As for the A51 stats, from the top of my head, the views/day have dropped, the answers/question have dropped, but the other stats appear to have remained stable. Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 7:50
  • But if you managed to produce (interesting) stats for weeks 26 to 42, what happened to week 43 and 44? Surely that is the most relevant data, we would see a trend of some sort, wouldn't we? Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 7:59
