Do Your Worst!

OK, folks, let’s try this again.

By way of background, the Slope of Hope has had a long-time issue in which, on occasions, comments would get eaten. For some folks, this never happened. For others (I’m looking at you, IndyZ) it was a constant.

We have probably poured more time and money into fighting this bug than any feature on the entire site. So, with a nervous twitch, I will ask you all to jump up and down on comments, either via classic comments or in SlopeTalk. Please let me know if it’s better or not. Here’s hoping it’s the former!

I’ve elected to use only the years from 2018 to current in order to keep the graph clean and to show that 2023 is shaping up per the norm in the post-pandemic era.

  • Years 2019 and 2020 are actually outliers, even beyond the scope of this chart’s historical limit (2018). Pre-2018 featured trends more like the norm shown below.
  • Years 2018, 2021, 2022 and thus far 2023 are more per the norm.
