Report for March, 2001

Here's the end-of-the-month report for the month of March. Notice that our numbers are once again growing, in all areas.

We experienced larger than usual growth in the pageview traffic, as well as the unique visitors. This means that more individuals are now hitting the site, and they are staying longer and viewing more pages than ever before.

Our membership growth has also increased; we signed up more people in March than any month before. Additionally, forum postings exploded with growth. Almost half of all posts on Dave's Garden were made in March.

My summary: March makes any month before look small and insignificant. March surpasses my own projections, and puts us on a cheerful course for the future.

Here's the numbers:

This IS the forum I come back to most - I'm glad that others seem to feel the same way about it.
