Just sort by top of the month, all our top posts range from 1 week to 1 month old, with very few being from the past few days of record "online" numbers.
Anyone who knows how Reddit communities work in the same sense know that when community member numbers go up along with concurrent online users, the post vote counts go up proportionally.
It doesn't seem to make sense that with nearly 1900 users online at once the top post of the day has 214 points while posts from many weeks ago were getting more.
Did we change how "online user" is determined or is there a glitch?
edit:
Tested what people were saying about how "online users" is really just "open tabs"

Yeah I didn't think so, only that something fucky was going on with the system.
No site with nearly 2000 people online should be so slow with posts.
Having a full transparency post about the traffic we get would be appreciated, and make it a lot better to track how outreach on Reddit effects activity and traffic here.
