If the year labels are correct, then that last little bump was probably Dead 2.0 and the one before it was probably Escape/BB4. Dead 2.0 was Mid-2011. ~ _{06:59, 23 January 2014 (UTC)}

Although, thinking back now, I remember someone used a script to create a few thousand accounts near the end of the last March. The names were all "udbebroken" or similar. That very well could be the last bump in the curve. ~ _{07:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)}

That's what I was thinking, except that last ??? bump is late May 2012. And I can't think of anything special happening then. I doubt there'd be any date error, since the data is just plugged in from stats.csv, dates included. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 20:50, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Probably the bot created accounts then. It was reported to Kevan on May 23rd, 2011. ~ _{23:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)}

Yeah but ??? is May 2012! --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 14:53, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Is it? Perhaps I'm looking at the graph wrong. Do the vertical grey lines mark the beginning of the year or the middle? ~ _{16:38, 26 January 2014 (UTC)}

The middle. The longest x axis ticks mark the year changes, and the year sits right in the middle of the year. Maybe I might want to fiddle with the graph a bit more. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 21:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Ah, well it makes sense why Yahoomas is in the correct spot now . Still, I think "???" is probably due to zergs. Cornholioo had his Nazi Zombie zerg group at the time and there was the Malton Cabenari(sp?)/Italian Fascist/Imperial Japanese Army thing. Most of the evenets and group pages were deleted since they were pages made by a permaban alt. Check A/VB/A for that timeframe for a refresher and a good laugh. ~ _{04:34, 27 January 2014 (UTC)}
