it's because they beat us on the number of irc users. :) as of april 4, 2011, 10:33 am gmt +2, #django has 289 users, #rubyonrails has 498 users, #web2py has 16 users. we are definitely more than that. just come to irc, especially yourself massimo. of course we cannot underestimate the number of posts in all 3 mailing lists. it's not a secret that web2py mailing list is the most active one among the python web frameworks. pylons, pyramid, turbogears, web.py, etc have very very low activity.
