I was thinking you guys might like to see some of the statistics for the forum.  The newest incarnation of the forum has been around since October 2005 (following The Great Hard Drive Crash of 2005), so these numbers have been collected since then.

I'll post some information from the web server logs in a little bit.  Those are far more interesting!

-b0b
(...cheers.)

Another interesting note.  We have an average of 13 spam account registrations on the forum every single day.  Due to the new e-mail requirement, they never get past the account activation stage.  I can't even imagine how many spam posts we'd have every morning if we would've left registration open without the e-mail requirement.

I've attached a screenshot of the user registration log for the past day and a half.  Over 19 registrations in only 32 hours!

You guys said the same thing back in middle school when I said I wanted to sleep with Wes's mom, but hey, I'm the miracle man.

We didn't say you couldn't we said you shouldn't

STD is just another way to spell STuD.

Here are the post counts and join dates for everyone on the forum.  I've sorted them by post count.  Guess who's at the top, suckers!

You guys are a bunch of slackers.

-b0b
(...especially you, Spanky!)

pfft, I got more posts than that slacker ironman, and he joined the forum before me!

You've got more posts than Stick, too, and he joined the day the new forum went online.

-b0b
(...still beats all of you punks.)

Isn't there a rule where you give a user admin rights if he beats one of the admins in posts on his own forum?

Pwned.

(...succinct.  I like it!)

The website as whole had 19,407 total hits yesterday from approximately 300 unique IP addresses.  I think that might be a new one-day record.  The vast majority of those hits were for the forum, but a handful of them were directed at the Other directory where I keep all of my miscellaneous crap or the other random web pages I'm hosting but not actively maintaining.

Checking out the referrers is always my favorite part.  These show what pages people were on when they clicked a link to view the forum.  Some of my favorite referrers this time around were the searches for "Jason Briney" and "Pheromone Flies in the Wind".

I wonder if they're related?

-b0b
(...laughs at Briney.)

How did some of those even bring up the Geek Forum? "Twilight In Dreamland"?  Weird.

Also, Bob, you can probably delete user account XHelp seeing as we're past the stage where the server wasn't letting me on.

X

That particular referrer was pointed at:  http://www.TWNCommunications.Net/Other/FTP.txt

That text file is an old list of everything that was available on the FTP drive as of December 6th, 2006.  There are several songs and a couple PDF's with the name Twilight in them, so that is presumably what the search turned up.

-b0b
(...deleted XHelp at your request.)

I lost my Stick account password, is it recoverable?

Yeah, send me a private message with your desired password and I'll reset it.

-b0b
(...or an e-mail, for that matter.)

I'll never forget my password, good ole boobies.

No it isn't!  I tried!

-b0b
(...was disappointed.)

HAH!  I wanted to see how many people would try, it was a tarp.

It was a very tricky tarp, one that I didn't see coming.  Just like this one...
