500 comments outside their own posts, that is a lot for a week!
Thats huge indeed. Total comment length is not too large to be honest. 120 characters per comment in average. But ok, some users go the extra mile. I do hope more will become a tat more social then just blog posters and responding to comments to their own post.
Now HiveSQL is free, I am hoping more of the websites will look into providing more metrics - if not, I'll stick with doing my bit for the time being :)
I do hope so. Could you consider to create another post series ranking all users of HIVE? Or at least the active ones (whatever is considered active)? You could go about it as a post, not as a league with rewards to start with.
