For people giving me shit about my Tweets and stuff: 327 people have come to HF because of Twitter and 466 through Facebook. I have no idea how many of these are already users or how many are new.

Still, looking at the numbers and factoring out the downtimes we had and the issues with Arvixe, I show a 7.72% growth monthly.

So we're doing well and I see growth coming right around the corner. Our server capacity is nowhere near maxed out and we have a lot of room for growth before we would need to look at other server options. vBulletin v4 is rumored to be out as early as November of this year and we'll probably make the jump in December or maybe roll something out for January 1, 2010.

Stay tuned, forumites.

This news is encouraging!

Some Halforums Stats

Can't wait to see our numbers when we get in contact with the webcomics we've been scouting. :uhhuh:

Some Halforums Stats

So you guys like these kinds of stat posts? I wondered if they'd be appreciated or not.

Some Halforums Stats

I like seeing how much we're growing. I can tell from the influx of new posters/former lurkers, but it's good to see the data that proves it as well!!!

Some Halforums Stats

I am a sucker for stats


I can't wait till we see those numbers shooting up

Some Halforums Stats

Well, first there's a lie, then there's a filthy lie, then there's statistics...

But hell, seeing these kinda statistics, keep 'em coming!

Some Halforums Stats

All those people watching us... undressing our posts with their eyes.aranoid:

Some Halforums Stats

They're silently judging us.

Some Halforums Stats

I see...lurkers!

Some Halforums Stats

I like stats, why not?

So they're mentally undressing me?

No wonder they don't stay long then.

Some Halforums Stats

what is a bounce rate?

Lurkers are voyeurs with really low standards for visual stimulation.

You know, I never could get "watching". I always have to be part of the action. Otherwise it really doesn't do much for me.

Some Halforums Stats

Bounce rates are people who come in, take one look around and leave.

Some Halforums Stats

So we ARE growing.

Also, I'm down for upgrading us on Jan. 1 2010. It sounds so futuristic.

Doh, I meant that... missing S is missing. Yeah, I have that sentence pretty damn near down pat. We have a spanish station with a PD who's pretty active in the local hispanic community. She gets a lot of calls, and around 5 or so here, there's nobody but me left to answer the phone.

I also know "Por favor, imprinte su nobre aqui, y firme aqui." And maybe 6 or 7 other phrases that don't come in handy unless you're inside this building.

But the first spanish phrase I ever learned (yes, even before learning what pendejo means) was "El nino muerto esta en la bota de la basura." Can you tell I lived in El Paso? Yes, I thought so.

Didn't know about that happening. If it means anything, I am planning on reviving Pixel once I finish a book's worth of new material...

Good luck, man! I hope that works out for you. Just remember, if modding your own board gets to be a pain in the ass...

Some Halforums Stats

Hmm, our starting rotation looks good, but we need more work in the Bullpen. Also maybe change our lineup around some, try switching our cleanup and lead off men.

Technically, that means "do you want to LEAVE a threesome?" So it's kinda the opposite.

But... but... I...

I just wanted to be cool and punny!

Some Halforums Stats

Actually what I read there is 'LEND her a threesome'! That's funny! Kinda!

Some Halforums Stats

I thought something similar when I wrote it... but, of course, I didn't think of simply saying it, I started typing an explanation... and decided it was too much effort.

I mean, I wouldn't have been cool either.

Some Halforums Stats

From statistics to Spanish-language three-way.

That has got to be some sort of a derailing record.

Some Halforums Stats

I'd say it's par for course for us.

Some Halforums Stats

I love me some stats, and I'm glad to see we're growing at a good rate, now that we've kind of settled in and made our space on the internet.

Some Halforums Stats

Me duele la cara de ser tan guapo.

D'ah, I was gonna try and beat you to it! I put it into a translator and got pretty much that. You need to get on vent!

Some Halforums Stats

More stats for you. This time I took a screen print. Since we are still in November I decided to check stats from October 1-15 and matched them to November 1-15. Pretty cool considering that October 1-15 has only 4 weekend days while November has 5, which means that that hurts November numbers.

Some Halforums Stats - UPDATED 11-17

I got so excited when my blog broke 200 absolute unique visitors. Then you post this :humph:

On a more serious note though, this is good to see, especially since that means that there are hundreds who come here who we don't hear from.

No kidding, but it also means Halforums is starting to have a noticeable effect on the web. Not only by showing up in more search results, but links we post can increase traffic enough to, apparently, get attention. I posed a link to a blog recently, and got a shout-out in thanks.

More cool stuff. This is a comparison between November and October of this year. We're still growing, even though October had 1 more day and November had the Thanksgiving weekend.



For an even better look, here's November versus September.

See, what did I tell you, you use social networking and it puts butts in the seats

yaaaay for stats!

Click to expand...

Most of the new people we have (that I know of) are here because of specific topics. We've had a few from the cosplay thread, a good number from the DDO addon thread and don't even talk to me about the Kanye thing.

So while social networking works okay, most people getting my Tweets & FB posts already know me and HF.

I wonder, how much of the newcomers stay and become active members? I forgot his user name, but the guy from the HIV forum, for example, seemed quite nice and interesting, but I haven't seen him/her around outside their introduction thread and such...A lot of the people who come here for specific topics don't seem to transition to general topics quite so well...
Other than that, yay, growth
