Congratulations to Martin and the team, both employed and those who help out here, on the great ongoing success of Martin's financial education evangelism.
Do you have a chart showing the unique users each month, is it rising?

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
fiendishlyclever, you make a good point there about scale: back in 2004-5 or so Wikipedia donations in the annual fund raising drive raised around $30,000 then around $80,000. In the recent ones it's been in excess of a million. Without corresponding increases in the amount of equipment or the technical team running the site. Huge numbers of people can deliver a lot of money, whether it's from donations, ads or fees.
Martin is hopefully doing very well out of this site and is also clearly putting a lot of money into staff and other resources for it, as well as huge amounts of his own time.
