All very interesting statistics! Thanks for crunching the data.
I have always thought that Lugnet should allow Google (and perhaps other search
engines) to crawl the posts on Lugnet. Even though the data would perhaps be a
few weeks old, I think that having the extra search abilities would be both
beneficial, and draw more people to Lugnet. It would certainly give faster
answers for many 'old' questions.

However, searching for "Lego" on Google returns Lugnet as the fourth hit, right
after lego.com, lego.com/deu and legomindstorms.com. That's good! (The next few
are the Cool Lego Site of the Week, crynwr.com/lego-robotics/, and then the
BrickTestament!)
I guess the reason that "legos" doesn't return a Lugnet hit (until #102, in
which case it's refering to the legOS subgroup) is because by and large people
here know enough to not call the bricks "legos", and so if they make links to
Lugnet on their own home pages, they'll use a different word.
