I wouldn't be so excited about this spike. I feel it may have been created by a botnet auto creating a bunch of accounts on 18th and 19th. It doesn't look natural.
edit: You can also see the "active user ratio" dropping significantly in the same timeframe.
There have been several instances reporting massive amounts of bot accounts. They are working on purging them and have started enabling captcha to stop new ones.
