I think Bitcointalk is being effected by the crashing market. Watch what happens when the market comes back and people get excited again. Bitcointalk will do its own mooning. This is still the #1 spot as far as I'm concerned.
market might completely relocate and switch its center
lets messure weather the 11% decline continues in september
august had 16.83 M visitors.
lets see what september brings
according to linear regression september should bring max 15 million visitors.
