    Why are there so many more posts about this WC than in the past?

    There were 7,170 posts about the '06 WC, 9,882 posts about the 08 Olympics and so far 17,514 posts about these 10 WCs. Why is this? Is it solely attributable to the growth in popularity of this Web site? If not, and basketball has just become much more popular in that part of the world since 2006, then maybe Turkey's venues will be crowded than expected.

      Here in IBN I do believe that this website and forum members have been continuosly been increasing throughout the last couple of years (I'm sure the mods here can tell you more about this since i've just been here for 2 years while they've been here for much longer)

      I do believe the popularity of bball on a global level has been continuously increasing as the level and competition has risen as well.

      By the way are you sure that the 17,514 doesn't include the posts from the 06 WC and 08 Olympics?

      I can't imagine what the number of posts would have been if the Philippines qualified to such an event

        Oops - you're right. The main WC 10 forum does seem to include WC 06 and Olympics 08 posts - mea culpa! Nice call with the Philipines.
