<p>
The Lobsters community is in a sweet spot that it's large enough to be worth asking questions about and small enough the answers make sense.
If you're curiuos about stats, Peter is happy to run queries against the [database](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/blob/master/db/schema.rb) and Rails/MySQL/nginx logs (but not write them for you),
as long as they don't reveal personal info like IPs, browsing, and voting or create “worst-of” leaderboards celebrating most-downvoted users/comments/stories
If you're an academic researcher, please [be like MIT](https://lobste.rs/s/cqnzl5/lobste_rs_access_pattern_statistics_for), not like [U Chicago](https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters/issues/517) secretly experimenting on maintainers without IRB review.
