| Is this hobby more popular in the UK and other places that are not the US? |

It's a difficult call. Most people I know grew up on video games and although the general releases and brand poularity varied on their way across the pond, the same spirit existed from kids born in the 70's and 80's. We all had home computers like Spectrums, Amstrads and C64's while you guys were already on NES's and Master Systems, but we all aspired to own and generally favoured real arcade games that were just universal in their popularity. It's been very quiet on BYOAC since about the middle of December, but I think the community remains the same size. Not only the active home builders so prolific on this site, but I know dozens of people who aren't members on here who would like to buy or are planning to build their own in the near future. I concur with others on here who say UK popularity is as high, if not higher than the US. Although on average UK kids had less disposable income and dedicated arcades were few and far between back in the day, there was sod all else to do with our suck-ass weather - No street hockey, basketball courts or road trips to the beach like a lot of teenage kids in the US! |

It's pretty awesome that it's a worldwide thing - so many different experiences to draw on. :cheers: --- End quote --- Interesting question - here are the country visits for February so far. |

January 2008 stats (this and previous post are forum only - they do not include the main site and the wiki) |

Saint, what exactly are those stats showing? They seem to be based off of the domain more than anything. Is this the domain of members Email addresses? I use a .com email. Also, .US doesnt seem to fair very well on the list.... Do you have a list based on IP#s? |
| saint:
No, it's based on the domain (it's the awstats package). So, the .edu's, the .org's, several others that are broken out separately are quite likely US addresses, as are many if not most of the .com addresses. Best data I've got :) |
