Happy New Year! How About Some Stats?

Question

Since it seems like every website is doing some sort of year end review, I was wondering if some awesome mod would generate some 2014 stats for us:

That's just a start off the top of my head but I think it would be cool to see some end of year stats.

I am sucker for numbers, but I need to note that you don't actually need mod for this. Any mod-specific stats we got access to we are not allowed to share. There is however more than enough numbers going around without that. I'll poke over your suggestions on weekend. — Rarst, Jan 2, 2015 at 22:31

Thanks Rarst! I find it weird we got more new users than new questions.

@Howdy_McGee number of questions at the moment might be less than created overall. They get closed, cleaned up, etc. I am not completely sure on number of users created. 15K is what I got from API, but it seems high.

Just to note: the StackExchange Data Explorer is a fun tool to play with and get information from. BTW lets pity a world where a (random) collection of numbers counts as statistics for a split second. No insult against this answer intended, you've got my upvote days ago.

@ialocin the question asked for stats, not statistics ;)

In my understanding and AFAIK stats is the abbreviation of statistics - so in my mind it is the same really; like it should be. Besides I'm guessing you exactly know, what common phenomenon and mistake I'm talking about. Anyhow, I probably should bite my tongue some times and forgo more or less unrelated remarks like this.. :)
