Not at all, I'm content.

Bloody chilly after today's cycle.

I probably have one of the worst likes/post ratio. For some reason I don't get many
I gave you a sympathy like.

Well we're coming up to 11 months of this now and we've got 52,000+ posts.... Can't grumble there can we. I think overall the posting is bloody great, even though some of you slate my poor XSR900 ;)

But lots of interesting stuff, lots of great bikes and great discussions.

I never really had a target for 'year 1' if i'm honest, at the start i didn't see any further than 2 months.

I've still got a gazillion of the others, unless people buy some there isn't much of an incentive

weeksy - 0.491
Yorick - 0.461
Horse - 0.489
KFB - 0.624
Skub - 0.800
Me - 0.575

So clearly, everything Skub says is gold.

We're now coming up to 12 months, so it's almost time to renew our web hosting, DNS registrations etc.

If we'd continued at the rate we got to 40,000 we'd have ended up on 53,000 posts, but we're actually on nearly 56,000 with 3 weeks left, so should hit 58,000 which shows the post number per day is still increasing, sadly using the 'counter's it's one i can't reset month by month, i'd have been really curious to see the last few months daily count, but it's skewed as it goes back to the very first days where obvioulsy we had a lot less.

Would be nice guys if every now and again you make the FB crowd from TRC aware of the forum. I'd love to see some of the old names back here.

We're doing great, but the more the merrier.

In month 12-13 which ends tomorrow we'll have racked up nearly 8000 posts. Which is EPIC !

It's interesting watching the ebb and flow of the forum, posting times, busy days, quiet times. I always felt TRC was quite active even after 10pm, but this place turns into a morgue at 10pm. Same at weekends, we have about 60% of the posts at weekends compared to an average weekday. Which as many people are at home etc does sometimes surprise me a little.

Covid may have something to do with the change, since I've been whf full time I've found myself going to sleep and getting up earlier.

Now closing on on 95,000, should hit that by the weekend and then i guess by the end of Sept we'll potentially have 100,000 posts....

Sadly, nearly 10,000 of those are mine LOL.... i need to post less and let you lot do more...
