I hadn't checked for a while and only came across the number of users today: 25887.

Isn't that slightly less than a couple of weeks ago? Too bad we don't see more people joining the game. Last not least it worries me a bit, because BB would definitely deserve more users - and it would be more fun for the existing managers/teams.

I do not understand the market(ing) mechanisms good enough to really estimate where BB is currently standing. I hope we are still on the way up. The BBs definitely do not seem depressed. Any ideas on the/our future? Any experience? (I joined HT when it was already 400k big, so I lack that experience.)

BB converts teams to bots on Mondays, but adds teams at any time, so there is always a pretty substantial drop on Monday's, and then it climbs all week. So depending on when you look, there can be quite a difference.

For example, there are now 26244 users, or +357 in 40 hours. If that rate is sustained all week, that will be +1500 for the week.

No reason for panic, I came here through the Hattrick announcement, there were 17000 players that moment.
A substantial number of players that started playing through the HT advertising is now turning into bots, which is normal because you can't convince 100% of the new players to stay.
There are a lot more people playing in comparison to a couple of months earlier even though the number of teams seems a bit stable at the moment.

Me, too. November that was. But that starting date has produced its bots long time ago, in January.

And yes, the number"seems a bit stable", that was exactly my concern...

No, I meant the partnership since this spring, not the banner advertisement in november.

The banner was visible for supporter in November. I have been a HT-supporter since late 2004... ;-)

And I didn't know there was another promo in spring, but I had already seen in your club history (@kantine) that you joined in spring, that made me doubt my initial judgement.
