Hey Geoff,
I was just curious if you tracked the new member status from the time the commercial came out until now. Did we pick up a lot of new subscribers/registered users? I have noticed some newbies in the talk forum so I was just curious if the advertising paid off.

We've seen more overall traffic to the site, but new members to the forum seems to be pretty steady.
So people who were afraid that there would be a rush of new memebers can rest assure that we're pretty muchor just slightly above average for this time of year.

Actually, I was hoping that we would have seen a rush of members, not the other way around. For some bizarre reason, I want this site to succeed as much as you do (okay maybe not that much).

rush of members = more server load = crash site = members leave
or
rush of members = more people hitting advertisements and buying through affiliate links

I kept reading here at DVD-Talk about the ads and how they mentioned DVD-Talk but I didn't see a TV ad until a few days after release and I have never heard a radio spot at all.
I remember telling my GF that I would think they would have promoted this DVD a little more. Go figure.
Lucas is saving the money for the "Episode I SE" DVD ad campaign.
