nice webbs. deftalkers doing their job well.

 

[Pathfinder-X]

too few ppl on this forum. barely anyone actually post here. GF, aussie, mysterious, solid, awang se, dabrownguy, adsH, and webbie is all the ppl who actually post often. i have not idea wut the 2320 users on this forum is doing. :?

 

[mysterious]

You see Pathfinder, this forum is relatively a 'new-comer' on the forum scenario so we (all the 'regular' members along with this forum) are just taking-off the ground level (with great success I must say). But one thing that I personally feel, (this being a rather newer forum) in which we beat all other forums (new ones or older established ones) is the quality of discussions, topics and pictures that we have over here (thanx to all of us 'regular' members, the Mods and of course our great Webbie)!! Most of the users that are currently registered, in my view, only come here to read stuff and checkout/download pictures from the gallery. I personally think that Webbies should start a new procedure of disabling the accounts of those users who do not return within thirty days (while also deducting them from the 'number of users' figure). Or, Webbie could send out a mass email to all the 'inactive' users who havent returned to the forum to ask them if they're still interested in keeping their accounts active or not on this forum. That should solve the issue pretty much and filter away 'one-time' users. :smokingc:

 

[webmaster]

Actually, the problem was and still is with the emails that are sent from the forum software. They end up in users junk mail box so they never see it, especially the email that they get telling them about their account being activated, etc.

I have worked around that and we do see some new faces every now and then but not that often. A relatively new forum, only year and some months old but still gets good traffic and nice amount of visits. Slowly but surely people will post as we keep up with good moderating (good job mods) and strict rule enforcement.

Do have this newsletter that goes out every now and then, which brings those "inactive" people back for once... I guess those who do register only do so because they want to look at the pictures.

Please invite your friends and collegues to take part in this website.

Thanks, enjoy!!!

[mysterious]

Is it time for another update to DT stats? Its been 5 months since the last one.

 

[webmaster]

Yeah... should have something by end of this or next month.

 

[webmaster]

Well, here are some traffic stats about the website as a whole.

Past three months (2005):

May
Unique visitors: 80,023
Number of visits: 108934
Pages:495638
Hits: 4550721
Bandwidth:

June
Unique visitors: 53117
Number of visits: 86876

Pages: 827357
Hits: 5206187
Bandwidth:

July
Unique visitors: 29358
Number of visits: 51683
Pages: 993533
Hits: 4199806
Bandwidth:

As you can see traffic pretty much fluctuates between 30k to 80k. It all depends on what type of day it is. May was higher due to the fact that everyone was interested in knowing about the Eurocopter landing on everest and DT was the only site in the begining that had the story published from Eurocopter.

Almost 85% of the traffic is either word of mouth/direct link to defencetalk.com or from user bookmarks. Which basically means most of the visitors are repeat. It does not mean that new visitors are not coming...

Rest of the 10/15% is from search engines.

I will post other details about forum and gallery later.

Enjoy! :coffee
