George,

Would you please post what the membership growth has been over the last year... month by month if possible. I think it would be very interesting to see just how fast the Tribe has grown.

I know that many are now struggling to associate names with faces and STR handles because of this growth.

Many thanks,

OMR

PS: Continue to appreciate all the hard work you put into this board to make it the best possible.

This makes it pretty obvious why I've had to upgrade servers twice already this year. Great problem to have

First screenshot is registration stats. Second screenshot is posting. Third down are general visit stats.

Wow!! That says a lot. I still remember way back when...

George--did you ever dream it would get this big??

I think my original goal was 50 members within a year. Surpassed that easily and now sky's the limit

The stats don't lie.....

All I can say is Thank You for creating, and maintaining a place for us..

A growth pattern like that is truely a compliment to you and all of your hard work george...

I know that you hear this quite a bit but Thank you for all of the time and effort that you put into this site, I/We do appreciate it..

Question: help an old man out here... what are bounce rates?

Interesting the average +13 minutes per visit...

George: Congrats to you!

I wish my 401K looked like that last graph

OMR · 08-29-2007, 10:10 AM

Another thought occurred to me as well. You need to get this info into the hands of the people that are helping to sponsor the board... over 31,000 unique visits.... wow!

It's my pleasure but some credit also should go to those have also helped....

Adam, craig, and others for donating early on before the tremendous growth. I think adam (JamR) was the first ever to donate and that was when STR was still really new. To have someone believe in the idea enough to support it like that was a big confidence boost for me personally.
Bret for his design input and help
The moderator team for helping sustain the friendly and constructive atmosphere
Everyone who posts, shows up to rides, and especially to those who hand out beers after rides
Everyone who who bought a jersey, thrown a sticker on their car, proudly worn our shirt, or have spread the word. There's not much of a marketing budget here so word of mouth is the big reason why we have so many awesome people here.
All the financial support through donations and doo-hickeys
I guess what I'm trying to say is the true strength of STR lies in the community as a whole.

STR, the rides I go on, and the people that I've met through this community make it so worth it.

I used it on my last resume and it helped land my current job. They said that STR looked much more user-friendly than their corporate site.
