Title: Website hits
Post by: Des on June 13, 2015, 02:12:42 PM
I don't know if anyone else noticed but my main website clicked over 600,000 hits yesterday, that is a huge number for such a small website.

Des.

I don't know, with that much interest, you can think of
this wonderful site as "small" anymore.  Good on you, Des!!

Cheers,

'Grats, Des, but not surprising. After all, if you're into WWI bip modeling, yours is the ONLY site needed!

Quality, not size, is what matters. This is by far the best quality site on the net in a number of different ways, not least the friendly and informal nature of the site. Long may it continue.

Thanks Des for setting it up and keeping it running so well.

That's probably closer to reality. I'm sure most visitors log on more than once! :D

How many members does this forum have? Didn't we pass the 2000 member mark earlier this year?

2239 members as of today, not a bad effort for such a small part of the modeling world.

I'd just like to say my thanks to Des for giving us this forum. I've been a member of forums concerning my other interests of old Land Rovers, and model railways but none of them have been so well run as this one. The owners have either acted like tinpot dictators, or, at the other extreme, have let idiots and bullies riot and spoil it for others.

Well done, Des.  :)

Amen. It is really remarkable and quite a feat considering Des has no one to help moderate. He has to read every single thing posted here… like drinking from a firehose sometimes… and still he has time to churn out such amazing work… quite something.
