    That's nice in theory. However, Japanese Language has fewer/day for questions. Fewer avid users. And fewer views/day. Or you could look at Music or Avaiation. Those are sites moving through the graduation process with more shaky number fundamentals than PCG. Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 21:42
  • I wonder when the wheels to graduation for those sites were set in motion. Perhaps it was prior to the new policy. If not, I think you have a very good case to ask your moderators to seek clarification from SE. Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 21:49

    Probably also worth noting that Christianity.SE (the site I moderate) has fewer questions per day on average than PPCG. It's been graduated for a few years. Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 22:13

    The Japanese one says it was "Launched" 5 months ago. Music was also launched 5 months ago. Aviation was only launched 2 months ago. The post you mentioned was posted 8 months ago. That's half a year for Aviation to move to 'launched' while PCG has sat in Beta. Aviation has only been around for 2 years, while PCG has been able to sustain its questions/day for five years.

    @MichaelT Music and Japanese were in the loop before we set the new criteria. Aviation hit "eligibility" on October 19th. All 3 had delayed graduations, the former because of the whole design thing and the latter due to the pileup of graduations from implementing design independent. We just ran Code Golf through the eligibility check though, and it passed, and probably should've passed a while ago. So we're looking into why it hasn't been flagged yet.

    Statistically the longer it passes the harder is to get over 10 questions/day. 8.9 question/day on a total 1830 days is pretty good and stable Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 22:29

    Don't worry, as pro-tem on a site where 2 questions/day is a purple patch, I think to get anywhere near 10 is great going. Congratulations! Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 22:44

    @GraceNote Could you please update PPCG with any updates asap? Our chat just got quite excited after your comment. Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 22:56

    @EduardFlorinescu that isn't true, because the average is a running average over 2 weeks. Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 23:01
  • @NathanMerrill My bad, I kept seeing that score and I thought is general do you know what is the overall score visits/day Commented Feb 8, 2016 at 23:27

    Also note that since in PPCG questions are actually code challenges, you can't expect to have a gazillion challenges every day, because those take some preparation to create (for them to be good) and people can't solve 10+ challenges a day. Commented Feb 9, 2016 at 10:37
  • @GraceNote Try to schedule PPCG's graduation for November 1st. Commented Feb 18, 2016 at 22:13
