How many users did you retain after the spike relative to before the reddit submission?

Less than 1%.

The user comments were mostly positive (1300 upvotes, 400 downvotes), and the site made a reasonable amount of money from the traffic, but the service was not compelling enough for people to use it daily. That's my fault, though, not Reddit's.
