Jeff · January 02, 2006, 06:55:52 PM

This past month the Forestry Forum set new records in almost every stat we have.

1.We set a new record for the most visitors in a day.
2. We set a new high record for visits in a month for December.
3. We set a record for a month with 885,056 web pages viewed in December
4. We set a new record for the most members on line at one time with 105
5. We set a new record in new topics at 701
6. We set a new record for posts in a month at 12,400. Thats an average of 413 a day. No wonder I can't keep up any more!
7. We set a new record of posts in one day at 523
8. we set a new record for the amount of approved new members at 115 thats 3.83 people a day.

Quite a growth chart eh?

I can claim being responsible for at least one new member in Dec.

I can also claim quite a few of those web pages that were read. I have a laptop next to the bed and I've been reading myself to sleep on the forum.

Jeff · January 02, 2006, 07:07:09 PM

Furby, I did have to wait for December to end.

COOL!!!!! 8) 8) 8)

I know I didn't say much, but I did read alot, trying to learn something!

Jeff · January 02, 2006, 07:13:07 PM

This is the chart from the year before, and shows the same trends. The dip in summer and then the rise, but this also shows you where the first left off going back in time.

Furby · January 02, 2006, 07:15:00 PM

Yeah, but until almost 7 pm on the 2nd ??? ;)

beenthere · January 02, 2006, 07:30:01 PM

Can't tell much from the chart without the one axis labeled. :

Furby · January 02, 2006, 07:33:50 PM

Sure you can!
Our lowest/slowest point in 2005 was just a bit lower/slower then the highest/most active point of 2004. ;)

Thanks Jeff. Thanks a lot.

It's your reward for giving us a wonderful forum and the oppurtunity to meet wonderful people and exchange ideas and offer help to those seeking it.

That makes it all worthwhile to all of us. (I hope I'm speaking for "all of us".)

sawman · January 02, 2006, 08:07:11 PM

I second what slabs said.
Thank you for such a great place. Like some others I read more than I type,
but this is the GREATEST SITE I've found on the web ever.

Jeff · January 02, 2006, 08:08:57 PM

My kids still remind me of the day I was truly excited when I came home from the mill and looked at the forum and exclaimed "WOW! There were 12 people on the forum today already and one of them posted!"

thecfarm · January 02, 2006, 08:21:16 PM

How things ch ch ch change. :D

jon12345 · January 02, 2006, 08:25:58 PM

This is the only forum I've ever used for more than a week :D :D Most of the other ones get boring, or are filled with a bunch of 'better than thou's'

Thanks for starting this place Jeff, without it I'd still be looking for a place like it :

beenthere · January 02, 2006, 08:47:10 PM

Max sawdust · January 02, 2006, 09:03:26 PM

Yes Jeff, You doo good work. I bought a mill of this forum, learned a whole bunch about loggen and sawen and get in trouble in the general topics area once in a while 8)
Good work, and thanks a bunch (My wife may have other thoughts though :D)
