Statistics

[Wobbly]

Woohoo - someone else is using Firefox, which is now drawing away from netscape according to the web site statistics (http://www.vsmr.net/modules.php?name=Statistics) 8)

[Muzzard]

Being the keyboard and I.T. specialist that I am Neil,
What is this Firefox you speak so highly of? :shock:

[Wobbly]

It's the (relatively) new web browser written by those good people at mozilla, based on the old netscape navigator core by the looks of things. Basically a replacement for Internet Explorer, but generally without the bugs and exploits that the fine micro$oft product has :twisted:

[dicky]

A lot of the Firefox hits are probably from me.
I'll own up to the BSD hits as well.

dicky.

[Wobbly]

Aha, good-o ... I'm reduced to using IE right at the very minute because of a complete reinstall because of my amd64 upgrade :roll:

Btw, these new 19" LCD flat panel monitors are just the ducks nut 8)

[danno]

Neil.... firefox by 2. :finga: just installed and use it so as to negate the crap that MS products seem so susceptible to. 8) Also use Thunderbird email and Sunbird calendar. Does not seem to have interface abilities of Micro$oft, but it will only be a matter of time. :D

[Wobbly]

yah ... personally i like email programs just to do email, internet explorers for actually exploringt he internet, etc etc rather than the m$ way of putting a whole bunch of stuff in various apps that turn them fat and open up a whole raft of exploits and hacking opportunities :?

but, i spose you've got to give the script kiddies something to keep themselves amused :lol:

[B_Comp]

Neil,

Im definately a Firefox man... have been for a while now.

Also use Thunderbird for email as Outlook just used to give me the sh*ts!

Only trouble is we havent quite got the B_Comp site to work (layout issues) in firefox but we'll get there.

Chris

[Muzzard]

So should I be using this, Firefox thingy and Thunderbirds for email rather than rescue?

[Flash]

Fucked if I know mate :roll: to me ones a movie and the other is a old tv show :lol:

[Wobbly]

Depends on whether IE and outlook piss you off on a daily basis or not :D

[Wobbly]

Btw, we've quietly gone past 100,000 hits this year so far and are looking on track for another most popular month well over 20,000 hits ... but we've got plenty of disk space and heaps of bandwidth available yet, so TELL YA MATES! :D

[Muzzard]

If you build it, They will come...

[Muzzard]

OK we got another high score this month so far...
5682 hits on the 13th and 2733 during the 6-7 pm slot same day...
:twisted:

[Flash]

Sweeet

[Muzzard]

Averaged over the year we recorded 36860 hits per month,
And attracted an average of one new member per day... :D

All good...

[Sibbo]

With all the new people, you will ba able to go through the current members and week out the trash.......farrk I am stuffed....no no dont do that!

[Muzzard]

Another record month rolling around,
Should go to 130000 hits, (currently at 128500),
Maybe indicative of the improving weather and riding conditions, but I would prefer to believe it our informative, sometimes funny explanations to the highs and lows of the world of Motarding ;)
Certainly there has been a significant increase of folks wishing to/using the Track Facility at GPTC we worked so hard to secure for motards.
As the facility has recently changed Administration, we are keen to assist with the rejuvenation of the Complex and this means we could be having the odd track working bee/BBQ/evening ride session, to assist wherever possible with that cause. ;)

[postie_moto]

been using firefox for years :) one less Microsoft programme to crash... :D

[Muzzard]

Only a handful of hits under 142000 for October.
Certainly another record month... :D

[SMC690]

Impressive stats.
Interesting time's that the pages are getting hit.
Take today for example. The stats pages states that the majority of the hits are between midnight and 3 am.
Is there a forum script that can be added in that does a whois so we get stat's tracking IP's to regions of the globe etc?

Why are these people not posting?
Hmmm.

[Wobbly]

Mmm, the times from the stats page are actually in US PST, so about GMT-8....

[SMC690]

Bugger.

There goes that short lived theory.

[Muzzard]

OK, some figures to spin you out a bit for a 'not for profit bunch of losers'.
Last year we had a milestone of the 1 millionth page hit.
That was in the latter half of the year,
We also had a total of 982 odd thousand for the year,
over double the 2005 year,
and gives us the total of 1.44 million.
December was also a record month with 143405 hits.
Significant for a webbase to a specific niche Sport in Australia in anyones books.
Well done you fellas, the tech advice and quick responses with correct info is what brings em here, the laughs along the way bring them back.
Without the input from you, all it would not be the valuable resource to motarders that is has proved to be.

2007,
January 1st shows already 15000 odd for the day, which although doubtful about it myself until verified, will be another record day.

[SM93]

i am also responsible for some firefox hits

[devo]

It's not that impressive. I think half of those are Sibbo.

[Sibbo]

It's not that impressive. I think half of those are Sibbo.
Speaking of which, when I was at one of our all powerful leader's compound, I got a peek at where the hits come from, ie servers. And my work's server was very high on the list! :D

[ACS]

A lot of motard fans where you work then eh?

;)

[Muzzard]

218747 Hits for January 2007,
Off to a good start ;)

[Sibbo]

A lot of motard fans where you work then eh?

;)
yes, thats it...its not all me....dont tell the boss! :D

[SM93]

who had the most visits ? i would have a few

[postie_moto]

218747 Hits for January 2007,
Off to a good start ;)
another record year on the way then... :)

[Wobbly]

Don't get too taken away with the January stats, I think we got crawled by a lot of bots and spamware in the early part of the month. But I'm sure this year will be a record year nonetheless :)

[Muzzard]

Even removing the first 3 days It would have been another very good month all the same Neil.
I expect significant growth from within VSMR this year, not necessarily from the hits and new member perspectives.

[Wobbly]

Happy 2-millionth hit everyone :)

[Wobbly]

And we've just past our one millionth hit this year :)

[Muzzard]

Show me the money :rofl:
Well done Neil to get us this far ;)
Thanks mate

[Muzzard]

Happy 2-millionth hit everyone :)
And that was March about this time,
Now happy 2.5 million ;)

[Muzzard]

Currently averaging 221662.4 hits per month.
Average same time last year 43870.4
Indicative growth 505% :)

[MarkeeMark]

Nice one Muzz!

[Muzzard]

Nice one Muzz!
I just had an idea I was onto something a few years ago and it took until I met Neil to make it happen ;)

[dangermouse1100]

These new figures would be helped along by forum junkies like myself who checks in b4 work, lunchbreaks & when he gets home from work ;)

[Muzzard]

Should be coming around for 3 million hits in about 5 days time.
Currently averaging around 9000 per day ;)

[Wobbly]

Sorry, haven't been around much, just past our 2 millionth hit this year a week back or so.

Site backup is now well over 2 gig :!:

[Muzzard]

Just clocked over our 4 millionth hit.
A million page views since July this year :D

[Ozmoto]

Congrats Muzz & all those involved.
You deserve a pat on the back for such a smart, informative, neat and tidy
website.
I used to live on a US based site but this shits on it big time.
Take a bow gentlemen
:up:

[Muzzard]

Another record month about to roll around,
Currently at 315,000 odd hits with still 24 hours to tabulate,
Should be around 322,000 - 325,000 by tomorrow night :P

Also generating new members on an average of one per day ;)

[SMC690]

Most users ever online was 52 on Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:47 am

Not bad! :)

[Muzzard]

March 2008
334639 ;)

[shane]

March 2008
334639 ;)

when your getting $1 a hit then you can start smiling Muzz :D :D :D
once you get up around the 500k mark they jump up in big numbers , our old aussie muscle site when we where competing etc our best was 1,280,000 in a month , we never ever made a cent back from it :roll: :roll: :roll: but we didnt really try either.

well done vsmr

[SMC690]

Even at a cent a hit he could stay at home and be quite comfy eh? ;)

[Wobbly]

At the moment we're pushing just to get the cent, period, never mind per click :lol2:

[SMC690]

Might be time to ask for a few quid for membership...

[jmcd]

Congrats Muzzard and everyone involved with the site! I don't see and end for you guys seems like every time I check things out theres a new member!
I also have Firefox at work thats were I log in most the time. but I have absolutly no clue about computer crap!

[SMC690]

Neil, are there more detailed statistics available?
Interested in breakdown of domain suffix in Au.

[Muzzard]

This month has been more hits than the whole of 2005.
This year already up a million hits more than last year with December to be added as well.
Good figures are starting to vindicate the hard work behind the scenes and the sponsors will be easier to attract.
A good way to kickstart the new domain when it comes online soon with figures that are going to reflect the same success ;)

[Muzzard]

Bit of trivia both Neil and I are quite proud of, another anniversary coming round,
Since coming online in January of 2005 we have shown indicative growth doubling the previous year,
With this month looking to be another record month stats wise again as well.
Merry Christmas to all the regular posters and those feeling a bit of a gravitational pull towards the motard movement as a whole.
Hoping that the change over to the new domain name in early next year will see also indicate growth along the same percentage scale or better :D

The forum is only as good as its regular posters and we are blessed ATM with it being a narrow market,
The dickweeds are easily identified and kept at bay.

So a big Thankyou to all concerned,
Justin, Dicky and Mark for assistance in moderating the website over the last 4 years

Constant contact with industry is the focus for this coming year from my angle along with sourcing of serious sponsorship towards some eventing and would encourage others to also regularly bash the ears of your local dealer as to how fucking good motarding is.
Sooner or later someone will overhear you, have a look themselves and find us ;)

So again Merry Christmas and a good New Year you bastards :lol:

[BoneGraft]

Congrats guys, great to see some positive reaction to your hard work. :partyman: VSMR is def the best forum around imho. :up:

[SM93]

good work guys, given me hours of entertainment and met some okay/suss blokes on here hahahaha

[MarkeeMark]

Cheers Muzz. Props to you and Neil for your ideas, time and effort.
2009 is shaping up to be a great year for motarding in Oz.
Looking forward to it intensely. :D

[Muzzard]

2009 is shaping up to be a great year for motarding in Oz.
Looking forward to it intensely. :D

If we can surround ourselves over the coming year with some really ...
no really enthusiastic blokes like you are Mark,
We have a chance at some standout events, be it what they may and at whatever level.
A similiar event to the Northam Festival would be damn fine but also take 12 months or more to organise unless I can merge some other information gathering portals and local contacts into a cohesive unit that would / could be a very profitable promotion for a smart major sponsor / marketing company
Just like an FIM World Round on the East Coast.
Now wouldn't that be something :P

[Wobbly]

Just echoing what muzz says, thanks to everyone involved - thanks to the mods who help keep everything somewhat in line. Thanks to everyone who contributes and helps make up the community. And thanks to everyone who has contributed monetarily to the site, as its a great help to us as we look toward re-launching the site in the new year (hopefully by March! and yes, my schedule is slipping).

:up: :up: :up:

Merry crimbo all :)

[Muzzard]

OK and a Happy New Year to VSMR members with yet another record month for us.
585 odd thousand which is good IMO for a bunch of blokes with silly wheels in dirtbikes :lol:
Thanks again for the support and lets hook into 2009 with focus on renewed track presence around Australia with a culmination of racing in Northam enmasse :D
