Median number of comments/post seems to have gone up a bit since the relaunch, at least according to the graphs I posted below. Average number probably has probably stayed roughly the same, which I think is mostly the cause of Scott moving to his own blog, and his posts continuing to create infinite amounts of comments.
Overall, I think the launch shows up relatively clearly on a bunch of the metrics I posted below, and it’s too hard to eye-ball scatter plots to judge on the plots above, though I agree that the overall effect of the relaunch on number of comments is relatively minor.
