Things that stuck out to me:

HPMOR: - Yes, all of it: 912, 55.7% REFERRAL TYPE: Referred by HPMOR: 400, 24.4%

EY's Harry Potter fanfic is more popular around here than I'd thought.

PHYSICAL INTERACTION WITH LW COMMUNITY: Yes, all the time: 94, 5.7% Yes, sometimes: 179, 10.9%

CFAR WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE: Yes, a full workshop: 105, 6.4% A class but not a full-day workshop: 40, 2.4%

LESS WRONG USE: Poster (Discussion, not Main): 221, 12.9% Poster (Main): 103, 6.3%

~6% at the maximum "buy-in" levels on these 3 items. My guess is they are all made up of a similiar group of people?

I'd be curious to know of 6.3% aho have published articles in Main (and, to a lesser extent, of the 12.9% who have published in Discussion), how many unique user are there?

Haven't you seen all those sprawling HPMOR discussion threads with >500 comments usually?

I hadn't paid attention, no.

It was the ~25% referral rate that was pretty shocking to me. And 55% of LWers have read all of it?! Wow.

I use it as a tool to encourage others to join. It's very good for that.

I tell people that if they get to the end of HP:MOR and want more MOR, then they should come try out LW.
