My dad runs a online retail site. all activity
indicators (sales, hits, inquiries) drop by 50% or
more during summer months. You said yourself you
hadn't been watching the site for the summer.. is it
any wonder if noone's online during the summer that
there's less activity? If its still down around
Christmas, then you may have something to worry about.
The web is a winter phenomenon. We don't have snow
here, so we forget how important summer is. North of
30 degrees lat. people tend to go OUTSIDE in the
summer and don't login. For linux, activity is further
reduced during summer because educational institutions
carry a larger portion of linux development that
purely commercial operating systems.
