Saturday, October 27th, 2007 marks our 2nd birthday!
It's hard to believe we're beginning our third year already.
Keeping with tradition, I feel obligated to give you our annual "State of the Board" report.
This year has been a very good year for Dodgeboard.com. We started the year with around 165 members, of which about 55 were active members. We averaged about 35-45 member logins per day and about 110 unique visitors each day. To date, we have 450 registered members of which about 160 are active. We average about 75-80 member logins per day and about 225 unique member visits per day. Thats about triple what we started the year with.
We've grown a lot over this past year and added a lot of new features for the members.
The search engines have gobbled us up this year. We currently have
over 25,000 links in Google to our site. We have received over 1000 visits from over 30 different search engines.
We have received visitors from over 180 countries...
Our link popularity (links from other sites) has gone from 882 at the beginning of the year, to 6,021. That puts us among the heavy hitters in Dodge City - The highest for any non-profit local website.
While last year we did have (2) banned users, this year there have been...I am proud to say... (0). There has only been two warnings issued in the past year and 3 edited posts. That's pretty darn good for a board with over 52,000 posts!
This has all been possible because of our great members. You've made my task of moderating the board very, very fulfilling.
I want to take this time to thank each and every one of our members for making it so enjoyable to be a part of such a great community board.
From the bottom of my heart
Thank You all!
