There were a lot of really cute answers to this, but on a serious note,
my understanding is that the net really heats up every September-October,
because of the influx of new students starting (returning to) school.
("Hey, lookit this, a new toy!  Oooh, ooh, I get to *publish articles*!!")

After the novelty wears off (and semester/quarter finals begin showing
on the horizon), the net calms down considerably.

This is a seasonal phenomenon, and is nothing to worry about.
