 Hmm, you mean the weeks in March and April when the line goes away instead
 of dropping to zero?

 Here's what happened: we don't have a single directory mirror reporting
 requests from .gq during those weeks, so we treat these dates as "don't
 have any data" and interrupt drawing the line.  This makes sense for times
 when there was a general problem with statistics gathering in the network;
 we wouldn't want all graphs to drop to zero in that case.  But in this
 case we know that there was no such network-wide event and we could
 interpret "no data for .gq, but lots of data for other countries" as "no
 users from .gq".  I'll fix this once I come up with a good idea how to fix
 it. :)

 Just to be sure, this is what you were referring to, right?

 Fixed.
