@Heike This is not a reliable feature (undocumented, could be removed in a future version, etc...) As a general rule, option and function names are supposed to be different.
I think this is the first time I've seen the traffic >1200 visitors/day on the Area51 tally.

Q: Could Mathematica.SE hold a mini-contest?

F'xAfter reading StackExchange blog's latest post, I wondered: are contests something that we could organize on Mathematica? Or is our audience and formation too specialized (or too technical) for this kind of format? On the one hand, I could see how me might take advantage of, say, Mathematica 9’s...

@BrettChampion yes, traffic has been trending up. R.M. Caused a spike by sharing the torn paper question somewhere but evn allowing for that, there has been upward drift.

So, according to @BrettChampion , MMA9 will be out before this stack graduates. I hope it means v9 will be out shortly, otherwise he's not very optimistic about this stack =)
 
@verbeia I wonder where @r.m posted a link. I've been unable to find it.
 
@SjoerdCdeVries I asked him, and he never responded to me.
 
@rcollyer Only location seems to be here. Scroll down. Position 55.

@rcollyer I didn't see your message, but I shared it on reddit. I took the post down after a few days when the views trickled down.. i.e., it had gone too far down the page for it to be useful anymore.

@R.m But how does SE know you posted it? I.e., how can a post on Reddit contribute to you getting the publicist badge?
 
@SjoerdCdeVries when you select "link" below any answer, your user-id is built into the link.
 
@rcollyer Ah, I see. Didn't know that.
 
@SjoerdCdeVries so as long as the referring site is from outside of SE, you get credit for it.
BTW, that you link you posted shows some very NSFW ads.
 
@rcollyer Great. Going to try that when I see an appropriate question.
 
Should work. I don't post on Reddit, so I'm unlikely ever to get a publicist badge.
 
6:28 PM
@rcollyer I didn't see those. I use NoScript.
 
@SjoerdCdeVries Apparently I should to.
 
@rcollyer I wouldn't touch a .ru site without it
 
@SjoerdCdeVries lesson learned. gotta clean out my RAM now, and I don't just mean the computer's. :P
