19 These figures do not include usage of the site' s chat rooms, in which each message posted and each page update requested account for one hit. Even a minimal use of the chat rooms would have a disproportionate influence on the over hits of the site if they were included. In fact, on many days the use of the chat rooms accounted for more than half of the total hits on the site. Since there are other methods of determining how many users actually participated in these chat sessions, the statistics for the chat rooms themselves have been removed in order to provide a more accurate representation of how the site was used.

20 Again, this figure does not include hits on the actual chat program, which would register a hit for every message posted and effectively inflate the popularity of the chat room feature of the site.
