This site is still sufficiently small that a few active contributors can make a disproportionately large number of posts, giving an impression of more "non-US-ness" than would really be correct on a simple per user tally.

As an example of this, out of the top 5 users (in terms of rep, at this moment in time) only 2 are from the US - but all of the next 5 are.

I suspect it's coincidence more than anything else.

I've found other sites are more regionally-centred - on all the ones my wife and her friends visit, it's predominantly Brits (and Brits that have moved abroad). A lot of those sites seem to be tied into shops or specific brands of baby product, whereas this one is a true neutral place...

It might also be that because this site is less discussion-focussed and more about building a repository of information, it's not so much about building a community of visitors in the same way as other sites - where that sort of thing is facilitated by the majority of users being in the same country. Similarities, something to relate to, etc.

Personally I'm glad this site has lots of international contributors. American parenting books and websites can be so reactionary, they make you feel like you should wrap your kid in bubble wrap 24/7. I love seeing how people around the world parent differently than we paranoid Americans do. :)

There are more non-US english speaking parents, than the inverse.... or it's a network effect of people finding this site through people they know, like Mr. Skeet (who lives in London?).

My brother created the site Basically Money, the "brother" site to this one. He introduced my sister and I to this site and we are all Canadian. I agree, I think it's just who's been networking and spreading the word so far...
