Website stats

Unread post by ~Z~ »

Just checking the logs for last month...busiest the site has been yet.

Here's a little comparison between January 2007 and March 2006, which was the previous high..

Mar 2006
Unique Visitors: 4313
Number of Visits: 14410
Pages: 277,012
Hits: 1,573,335
Bandwidth used: 21.30 GB

Jan 2007
Unique Visitors: 5862
Number of Visits: 17466
Pages: 354,184
Hits: 2,133,085
Bandwidth used: 40.43 GB

Winter months seem to be the busiest, along with Sunday and Monday each week.. that's typically the slowest time of the year, and days of the week for railroading as well...
The bandwidth almost doubled, while everything else had a steady increase..I'm sure the gallery is viewed much more often now than it used to be, which definately increases bandwidth... great to see it getting more use.

Maybe by then Zack will have figured out how to reset post counts. Then he won't have to ban you. You'll just have to start over from 0

I'm set up to pass Zack in:
Zack's posts: 7265--2.76 posts per day
My Posts: 516--5.55 posts per day
Post/day difference: 5.55-2.76=2.79
Posts Difference: 7265-516=6749.
Final figuring: 6749/2.79=2418 days (6.6 years)

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.

Is it possible to get another update on this? Might be interesting to see how much the site has grown :)
