Over 1,000,000 visitors this year

Post by IanKennedy »

We have just had our 1,000,000 visitor this year. This is the first time we've ever got more than 1,000,000 in a year so we're very happy. We're also on course for our 6,000,000 visitor, with the current count standing at 5,984,733. Just 15,267 to go.

Did you guys ever figure this site would become this popular?

No, not really. Our first year with a counter on the site we got 6,822. The year after that was 107,335. It really exploded from there. If you click the statistics link (top right) you can see all the gory detail.

Congratulations :DITL:

Though I think you'll get more vivitors over the Christmas holiday period to boost you up past the predicted number.

We should be able to announce the name of the 6,000,000th visitor, too. Fingers crossed!

It would be cool if one of us were the 6 millionth.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

What, view the site on the small, crappy monitors on campus and not be able to see the pretty snow the way it should be as I can at home? Ian and Graham's fine work would be wasted. :)

Congrats. Does that 1 million include people viewing the forums, or just the main site?

If you visit the main site and then go on to the forum then you count towards the total. If you come straight to the forum then you don't get counted.
