So can we call this successful? :-)

As of 0600 CT, the 1,000 posts goal's been met.

Congrats!

BTW-- This forum is terrific. Not only is it a tremendous resource, but it's helped this came-out-of nowhere newcomer feel VERY welcome in the PG community. Thanks.

Delighted to hear that, PaperTiger!

This is indeed a great way for newcomers to easily grab the ears of some of the real veterans, both for playing help and just for friendship.

I think it's interesting that some guys who are dead silent on PG-HQ have been active on the forums. That's also been really gratifying to see!

2012 June was our best ever for traffic, due entirely to the forum.

Daily unique visitor count went up 25%
Number of visits went up 50%
Page views went up 300% (people are staying longer, reading more)
Bandwidth went up 100%

Really, really awesome!
